lydiawesome Posted August 11, 2008 Share Posted August 11, 2008 Whatever the case may be here --and I'm VAR too busy to read 5 pages of posts to figure it out-- PLEASE REMEMBER that record labels can (and do) decide who they sell their "cool" and "weirdo" records to. No Idea does have a shit list. Ask around. I think whispers of it have circulated, but it is true. You want to sell a record a year later, cool, whatever. You want to do it a week later, maybe you miss the next cool thing. Just throwing that out there.Watch out for each other... and be nice to each other. Then everything is cool. -- Oh wait, I forgot to include an emoticon. :'( I couldn't help myself. Also, hope I am never on the dreaded shit list since I love No Idea, and those people are just about the nicest and most outgoing in a tumultuous industry filled with... less than kind folks.

A black mamba test w/ my name on it is all I'm missing. Come on dude, i'm obviously more legit that Muzzy and waited just as long. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jhulud Posted August 11, 2008 Share Posted August 11, 2008 I wonder if Virgil keeps track of all the test pressings he has sold or given away in the TP contests and who they went to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw them open for Streetlight and it was god awful. Thank god Dan Potthast was there to awesome the place up before Zox came on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pibbals Posted August 11, 2008 Share Posted August 11, 2008 I love Potthast. When The Stitch Up opened for streetlight over here, he had an audience member play guitar and he only taught them the beginning and he went "We won't teach you the end and it'll sound horrible BUT THAT'S OKAY! You guys are only here to see Streetlight anyway!" And that was the first show Suburban Legends played after being robbed, it was a pretty kickass show.

Haha, he had the guitarist from the Suburban Legends come out to play La with the Stitch Up and he had NO IDEA what he was doing and it was awful but still great because the few Mu330 fans were screaming along.

pibbals Posted August 11, 2008 Share Posted August 11, 2008 I really need to listen to more MU339. I've only really listened to Crab Rangoon(picked up the vinyl at the show I just mentioned). The only other Potthast release I've heard other than that would be Attitude Adjuster. I knew who Dan was, I just hadn't listened to him before and I loved him, but everyone there didn't really like it, they were pretty much "put streetlight on stage" and were like that for the first half of Suburban Legends. It's kind of ridiculous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bouncingsoles123 Posted August 11, 2008 Share Posted August 11, 2008 The majority of Streetlight fans are stupid 14 year olds. They were pretty welcoming to Dan in Buffalo though but they were circle pitting to some of his songs...acoustic....It was strange. I just want a new Mu330 album already!

pibbals Posted August 11, 2008 Share Posted August 11, 2008 The only band I still really like after I got over the ":holy shit ska is really cool,!" phase is MU330, hahaha. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bouncingsoles123 Posted August 11, 2008 Share Posted August 11, 2008 Yeah Mu330 is one of the few ska bands I'm not really embarrassed for liking haha. I recently actually got back on a ska kick though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
