My autographed Finch "What It Is To Burn" 2xLP


Recommended Posts

I posted about this in the eBay thread which got buried, and I hate to be so self-serving as to make a whole thread about it, but a lot of you have been interested in buying/trading this record off of me. I decided to put it up on eBay, so if anyone still is interested, here's where you can bid:

I also have the Alkaline Trio/Smoking Popes split 7-inch up there, too; just click "view seller's other items" if you wanna see that.

Scott were you at that show? It was amazing! I think the best was when Dan came out to sing Off My Mind with the Popes. Pure bliss.

I was definitely there -- such a great time, the Popes were phenomenal. The Trio's set was far, far too short, however -- not even an encore! What really got under my skin was how considering how expensive the tickets were, there wasn't even a champagne toast or something along those lines -- not even streamers and balloons. It was just another normal show for the Metro, only $80 a pop.

My problem with the show was the 18+ thing. I think that's why there was no toast. Had it been 21+ they probably would have had the toast. Yeah, the no encore did kind of suck, but I'll see them again sometime.

Plus the Trio's setlist was mega-weak. From Here To Infirmary played from start to finish? No thank you. That meant I had to hear "Steamer Trunk," unarguably one of the band's all-time most boring, generic songs (right up there with "Dead End Road"). But even that wouldn't have been so bad had they played a bunch of songs after it, but they played "Warbrain," "Old School Reasons" and, like, two others before closing with "97" and peacing the fuck out. So weak.

i like "Steamer Trunk". Infirmary was the first Trio album i heard. i remember, back in the day (like in 5th or 6th grade), i used to record MTV videos during the night and watch them during the day (and pick out the ones that i'd like, and just skip to those). i guess Vagrant had made a commerical advertising Infirmary and they played clips of the "Stupid Kid" video. i must've watched that commerical 20 times before getting the album.

"What It Is To Burn" was big for me in the 7th grade. maybe i should pop it in for another listen. hell, i've been listening to more NFG, Brand New, and TBS lately, so might as well...

I might get shot for saying this here but From Here To Infirmary has always been one of my favorite records. I love the whole thing from start to finish.

I just dug out my copy of this, mine's 876/1000, this album sounds absolutely fantastic on vinyl too, good catch to whoever gets this one!

Question: Where is the number on yours? Because for the life of me, I can't find one on mine and I don't think it is numbered.

Bottom right hand corner, back cover. It's a sticker, so if your LP is missing the shrink wrap, it could potentially have been peeled off, I guess

Yeah, it came without shrink wrap originally; it's never had a number as long as I've owned it. Thanks for the info, though!
