I just got a copy of Metal Circus by Husker Du, but the B side has the music from side 4 of Zen Arcade. I've heard a little about this misprint, but no real facts. Anyone know anything?

The "shitting all over their legacy" comment is ridiculous. Are you Steven Blush? Shit happens, they're adapting to it. Their records and shows are/will continue to be exponentially better than just about anything else you can see - what the hell do you mean?

Here it is in a nutshell, I hated the way the songs sounded with that guy singing. Better to just accept the end of a band, and start something new, then to force it with new members.
That's my opinion at least. I think we may have do an Agree to Disagree Unity Resolution for the sake of HC punx everywhere.

Also, FUCK Steve Blush.

Have you seen them yet? What does that even mean?

I saw them on friday for the first time since CIT. Seeing them with a new drummer was, like i said, forgivable because they managed to get someone who could play the songs right. But that band is not the same without Kevin's weird, tortured vocal style.

Goosebumps, some real gross NYHC shit. Dug them in NYC this past weekend. Omegas record release  was the best non chaos in tejas show I went to all year.

goosebumps and omegas ruled. CREEM and Boston Strangler pretty much sucked though. some real paint-by-numbers stuff there.

What's wrong with meat and potatoes HC?  Do you hate the Xclaim! 6? Do you hate AF?

Also, new -/- gets a thumbs down here. That band is in the process of completely shitting all over their legacy. Replacing Walsby was a (barely) forgivable mistake, but a new singer just destroyed the band.

After more research, i gathered that the press of 500 on Draw Blank was, in fact, the original press. Unless someone can definitively say otherwise?

As far as Slave on grey, I think that after OTD pressed that the second time (without the band's permission) the band pressed 100 copies on grey for Draw Blank. They were supposed to sell those copies to come up with money for a larger pressing, but I guess that never happened until the reissue on Deep Six/Draw blank in the mid nineties.
If anyone has any info on the cover, inserts or center labels for that grey press on Draw Blank, it would be great.

I'm trying to put together a definitive Infest Discography, but the more I research i do, the more retarded that idea seems.

Infest-Mankind

As far as I can gather there were 1500 pressed originally 1420 with oversized white sleeves, and 80 with custom sleeves (split between band members, and each made covers for 20). Anyone have info on the covers each band member made? I know there's one with fighting Elvis, and one with a live shot of the band, but I'm not sure about the other two designs.

Also, I know that it was reissued as a split with Deep Six, with different colored sleeve/vinyl combinations. So far I have: red, blue, gold, or purple sleeves with either gold or black vinyl.
Can anyone tell me about any variations/amounts for the repress?

Second that. Neo Cons were great. I managed to somehow not get their 7" even though they played my house.  I will be picking that up this week along with the new Cowabunga releases.
Got Logjammers and Bloodclot Faggots 7"s and Homostupids 12" the other day. BF, and Homostupids dug the hooks in quick. Need to spin Logjammers a few more times to really figure out how I feel about it.
