  1. Good morning all, spent a lot of time with the Dischord catalog this weekend, can you believe 2 days ago was the first time I heard "Out Of Step" ? My friends only ever showed me the first 2 7" and I was impressed but put it on the back burner for picking it up. This one hit right away, I think its easily their strongest release and yet I see the first 2 more praised and covered by bands, ran out and picked up a copy yesterday

    They have just reissued a lot of the early stuff and it's all great. My personal favorite is the Scream "Still Screaming" LP.

  2. I also wrote this in another thread, anyone who has frequented Newbury Comics might agree with me.

    Expect them to get worse with the cash grabbing. I grew up going to the stores. ( I have 3 in my general area and 2 in Boston which is about an hour away). The stores down in the burbs are about 90% novelty items and clothing now. It's sad because I know these stores shaped a generation, I found out about so many cool bands by blindly picking stuff up in the pre-internet days. Now when I go it seems that they are moving away from a go to place to pick up tunes to a cool place to buy fart machines and Fred Perry's.

  3. Yeah, just do the best you can, after awhile when you get used to costs you will naturally set budgets for yourself. I signed my papers on my 30th birthday ( most expensive birthday present ever). 28 of my 30 years at that point had been spent renting. It took roughly a year to get used to everything and its cool now, I even have some savings.

  5. I have been in my house for almost 3 years now. I grew up in apartments so I was a little shellshocked about how much stuff actually costs. Previous tenants always left stuff behind, my mind was blown at the cost of stuff like rakes, shovels etc etc. The only advice I can give is don't stress out over everything, life is expensive.

  6. Just got the Baseball America 2016 prospect handbook. For the first time in awhile almost all of the top prospects are positional players. Makes me wonder if we are going to see a big offensive outburst over the next couple years. Anyone else as dorky as me and read this?
