rafter242 Posted April 20, 2008 Share Posted April 20, 2008 Greetings, Just the other day, I received a large box from VC!!! This is My Fist - A History of Rats (purple) Mighty Mighty Bosstones - Jackknife (green) Reflector - Where has the Melody Gone Hex Machine - Run to Earth (yellow) Fear Before the March of Flames - Always Open Mouth (red/yellow) Drag the River - You Can't Live (brown) Chixdiggit - From Scene Chixdiggit - Pink Razors Chinese Telephones (black 1st press) Hot Water Music - Finding the Rhythms (dark purple w/7") Limbeck - Limbeck (gold) Possibilities and Maybes - Casket Lottery Portugal the Man - Church Mouth (all 4 colors) Minus the Bear - Interpretationes del oso (all 3 colors) A bunch of these bands I had never heard before. Bought them based on alot of the posts on this board. So far, the results are amazing. Drag the River was a big surprise. I expected some young hardcore band (esp. with that name) and was hit with a curve when that vinyl hit my turntable. Reflector is great also. (listening now) I haven't even gotten to Portugal the Man or Minus the Bear yet!!! This is turning out to be a great score. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heavyheavylowlow Posted April 20, 2008 Share Posted April 20, 2008 Church Mouth and The Always Open Mouth are like my 2nd and 3rd favourite albums ever, good choices Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted April 20, 2008 Share Posted April 20, 2008 Chi-tels!!! 'Sconsin, represent! Chixdiggit and This Is My Fist are really good too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rafter242 Posted April 20, 2008 Author Share Posted April 20, 2008 I'm familiar with Chixdiggit. I have Born on the 1st of July and I saw them open for Me First & TGGs. Great live. Even my wife reminded me to pick them up because she enjoyed them so much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markalark17 Posted April 20, 2008 Share Posted April 20, 2008 Limbeck is the best. Good choice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monk0nuggets Posted April 20, 2008 Share Posted April 20, 2008 If you've never heard Minus The Bear before, you should have picked up one of the other records instead of the remix record. Looks like you got some great ones though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rtw88 Posted April 20, 2008 Share Posted April 20, 2008 If you've never heard Minus The Bear before, you should have picked up one of the other records instead of the remix record. Looks like you got some great ones though! That's exactly what I was going to say. The remixes are mostly unnecessary or unlistenable in my humble opinion. Although it might be worth it for the POS remix. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daniel Posted April 20, 2008 Share Posted April 20, 2008 I hate Interperetaciones. I bought it instead of Chase This Light at Waterloo and I regret it now. At least Root Beer Float looks really cool and the first track is good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
voodooramen Posted April 20, 2008 Share Posted April 20, 2008 Yeah, definitely pick up a different Minus the Bear album if you can, I would recommend Highly Refined Pirates. Awesome album. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrc Posted April 20, 2008 Share Posted April 20, 2008 Portugal the Man - Church Mouth (all 4 colors) Minus the Bear - Interpretationes del oso (all 3 colors) damn, you bought all the colors and you have never even heard the bands... that's pretty risky! not saying you wont like em but if you dont that kinda sucks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daniel Posted April 20, 2008 Share Posted April 20, 2008 I started at Planet of Ice with Minus The Bear and just worked my way back. I couldn't pick a favorite album yet... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kyle Posted April 21, 2008 Share Posted April 21, 2008 I'm still trying to figure out how Minus the Bear is so popular. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
