Well, anyway, KFM sucks on my bozack.
Here's what I've gotten recently....
Dwarves LP's Blood Guts & Pussy Free Cocaine (double LP orange vinyl) Come Clean Are Young and Good Looking
All of these albums are money. If you don't own them or like them, you're a tool.
D4 LP's Midwestern Songs of the Americas Versus God
This is the most intelligent rock n' roll ass-kicking band ever. If you don't like D4, you're a fuckface.
Apers S/T LP
Great band. A European Screeching Weasel. If you don't like this, fuck you.
Briefs Hit After Hit LP
Best new band of 2001-2. They sound like 70's punk mixed with 80's pop. The Epoxies are in the same league with them, and they rule as well. If you don't like this, then you shouldn't be reading this.
Parasites Rat Ass Pie LP
The Parasites were and are an amazing band. I'm glad they're back and soon to be touring. Hope we play with them. This album has some of their best tunes. Fuck you.
Vindictives Many Moods of the Vindictives LP
I can't believe I found this record. Every V-dives 7" on two LP's for 7 bucks. This things been out of print for years. I got it for 7 bucks. I win. This is one of the bands that got pop-punk rolling in the 90's. One of the best eva.
Devil Dogs S/T LP Bigger Beef Bonanza LP
I bought the first two LP's from this band about a month and a half ago. I fell in love. I'm glad Night picked up on my (once again) dead right musical choices. Next to The Ramones, the DD's are the best band from NYC ever (even better than DBA).
Buy anything you can from The:
Wanna-bes Rabies Pinkz Beatnik Termites Manges Retarded Frustrators Proms Boris The Sprinkler Ergs Groovie Ghoulies Turbonegro Zeke (just got their last 7" ever, Spanish import, RULES) Parasites Mummies (greatest rock and roll band ever) Head Toys That Kill All-Stars
FUCKALLDAT

Here are some things that are needed to get better recordings: More and better mikes, Mic Stands, Not XLR ended cables (damn broken inputs!), and way to record good sounding vocs. If I could get those I might be able to conquer the world!
I still haven't gotten any albums in quite a while so nothing to report on. Although I listened to Wimpy's for the first time since the end of last summer and had forgetten how amazing they were.

Remember when we all thought the doors were the most influential rock band around? Well, I do and I say we return to that state of mind. In with the revolution!

Uhhhhh... Jizz got new records today. I obtained the following at Brave New World:
Devil Dogs- Saturday Night Fever LP... this album is so fuckin' money.
D4- Situationist Comedy LP... I love D4 and this album does not change my opinion.
Black Flag- Jealous Again... 12" 6 song EP, Chavo doing vocals... all the classics from "First Four Years" (Revenge, Jealous Again, No Values, White Minority, You Bet We've Got Something Personal). Great record!
Ramones- I Wanna Be Your Boyfriend b/w Judy Is a Punk 7"... demos of the original songs. Semi-bootleg. Decent quality, interesting hearing the songs the way they were written. Rockin' Ramones as always.

I got the following:
-the first Smashmouth LP: all the essentials including "Walkin' on the Sun"
-Rammstein Live Bootleg 7": Du Hast live!
-The New BBMak LP: Hot english studs with killer voices! They aren't just a boy band because they write and play their own stuff!
I didn't have any more money or else I would have had a few sweet gems. A few more plasma visits and I'll be gold. Steve, you came up to BNW and you didn't come by. p00se!

Since this is the music book, I have a questionion. What is so much better about records? Is it just like for the image or whatever?
I think they are cool for like cover art and whatnot and you might be able to get like a "better sound" or whatever out of them.
Just curious what the record kick is all about. Tivo, there was a rumor that you sold all of your cds, but I am almost positive that isn't true. But you never know with you.

Here's what is better about records.
Vinyl sounds infinitely better than a CD. The way vinyl is pressed brings out the low-end in guitars, drums, and whatnot. Basically, a good rock n' roll album will never sound as good on CD. A CD sounds too small and perfect. I appreciate a little bit of sleaze with all my music, and 180-gram vinyl does the trick better than any substance in the world.
Collectability is a great part about vinyl. Finding colored vinyl or an original pressing of your favorite record is one of the most gratifying experiences in the world to me. If you have a colectable record, you can always sell it back for more than you paid. CD's always go DOWN in value.
A record is big and looks cool. If you buy the Riverdales LP's, the cover art is ten times more badass because it's so big. 7"s have awesome sleeves that are more fun to read and look at then a CD booklet.
Vinyl is cheaper. 'Nuff said.
The way I got into most of the bands I love is through great 7" records. It costs three dollars for you to get into a brand-new band you can love forever. That beats paying twelve bucks to see them live, then another twelve to buy the CD later.
It looks to me like everyone is more fixated on image when somebody does something different. I have enjoyed vinyl since I turned 18, and I am not on a record "kick". The turntable Travis gave me got broken, and I had to wait to get a new one. I finally just got a good enough vinyl set-up so I can get rid of CD's. There is no "record image". CD's are a rip-off. Anyone can tell you that. It costs five cents to make a CD (literally), and they sell it for 12-15 bucks. It costs about three dollars to make a record and you can almost always get one for nine dollars and under. Records are the better deal.
Records do have their drawbacks, though... they are not portable, and if you want to listen to vinyl in the car, you either have to tape them or rip them to a CD. They also require more care than a CD, but I love my records, so I don't mind.
So, all in all, Ahmed Johnson... Night and I don't buy records for the image. I think it is the best way to enjoy music you love.
Oh, also... everyone, I am in fact selling all my CD's. But I am rebuying them on vinyl. So I am going to buy new cases for everything and make sure they will be in tip-top shape. If anyone wants to buy them, I will be selling full-length CD's for eight dollars and CD-EP's for four dollars. It's basically like buying from Lookout! with no shrinkwrap and no shipping. None of my "real" CD's are messed up in any way, so if you want 'em, come get 'em! I'll be posting titles on a separate thread.

Methinks it's got to be 90% image. Part of your whole Rock N' Roll facade is listening to records.
You'll drive in your car and be like "damn I sold all my cds." And then end up breaking something trying to rig up the turntable in the car.
I don't care if you buy any cds. I don't buy cds, but I enjoy burning a lot of them. Too perfect? Hehe, I'm speechless. I'll stick with downloading free tunes and burning it to a disc.

The Epoxies-"S/T" Well, this is simply one of the best albums that came out this year. The Epoxies are fuckin' weird as hell, but they rock. The keyboards are totally amazin, and it really sounds like a New Wave band playin punk rock. The Pacific Northwest is full of awesome bands these days, and Dirtnap is definitely the most solid label doing stuff now.
Roxy Epoxy's vocals are really powerful, and the song-writing is top-notch. I'd recommend everyone download and mp3 and check it out, because the single I have had since March was not enough to match how great this album is. Buy it!
The Mummies-"Tales From the Crypt" Supposedly the rarest and best Mummies LP. I see this thing on ebay for 30 bones all the time, and last night I found a copy of it for 11 bucks. So I was pretty stoked. I can see why it's so rare. It looks like a total bootleg, with no label address or anything.
But onto the songs... GREAT! There are a couple re-recordings of some "Never Been Caught" classics. The only one that is sub-par is the newer version of "(Your Ass Is) Next In Line". The recording is much louder and a little less sleazy, and the cleaner vocals on it don't do justice to the original. The new version of "Red Cobra No. 9" is killer, though.
The B-side is all original songs I hadn't heard yet, and they are so rockin'. One is even a fast punk-sounding instrumental. It's the craziest Mummies record I've heard yet. This LP also has "Land of 1000 Dances" on it, which is why I bouht it. The Mummies are the best garage-punk band ever, no doubt about it.
Shellac-"The Rude Gesture: A Pictoral History" 7" Oh man, Shellac is the best. I got the two first singles, and this is the first one I listened to. This record has "The Man Who Invented Fire", "Rambler Song", and "Billiard Player Song". None of them have ever been released anywhere else, and this is just great Shellac.
The quality is stellar, and the songs are slower and sludgier. It's got the best production I've ever heard on a vinyl release, and the packaging is beautiful. Say you want (and that means everyone but Night), but Shellac is here to stay, and these first recordings they ever did are just as great now as they were in 1994.
Shellac-"Uranus" 7" This is Shellac's second single. I am listening to it as I type. It is actually better than "Rude Gesture". The first song, "Doris" has a much harder feel to it, and it has lots of cool time-changes and a lot of Todd Trainer crashing, which is what I like. Definitely a quality tune, and very reminscient of the end of "My Black Ass" with the intense conflagration of all the instruments getting slammed on at once.
The B-side, "Wingwalker" is one of the best Shellac sons I've ever heard. It has great Albini vocals to start off, and Bob Weston has an awesome repeating bassline, similar to "The Crow" (no, not K-p00se's fave movie). Albini's guitar plays interesting harmonic Ahmed Johnson-leads over the bassline while he's singing. This song is ten times harder than "Doris", and is a good lead-in to "At Action Park". This is fuckin' great stuff. I love Shellac so much. When I finally have all the LP's come XXX-Mas time, I'm gonna be livin' it up.
