Right on. I may (if you don't mind that is) call you for a ride from Frankfort to Lafayette. But like I said, I am hoping to have a car to use while I am in IN.

We are leaving this Thursday, get to Chicago Thursday night. Staying until Sunday, then coming to Indiana. Mark is driving from Milwaukee to Chicago to hang out on Saturday. We are going to go the Lover show and maybe go to a BBQ with Pat/ Rocket reducer that day. Any chance you could make it up there? Tyvek are playing Friday as well. I may go to that, though I have seen them twice recently.

Thanks again for all the tips, especially Frankie Teardrop for the review on practically every record store in the city.
I got 4 days to wander, hit up these stores, and eat as much mexican food as possible.

Suggestions please.
I know of Reckless records, but haven't been there in years. How is it these days? I also buy from Dusty Groove from time to time through their website. What are some other good record stores to check out?

Music Shit / Re: History (stream online) of Lafayette punk rock on RAdio chiguiro tonite

« on: April 21, 2008, 06:09:30 AM »

Cool. I'd like to get a copy of that. What about the Turners? Are there recordings of that as well?
Smegmites? Was that Craig and Ben's band when he was like....13 or so? Were you in that? I thought they did an actual "pro recording" at Sonic Iguana with Mass Giorgini? I'd like to hear that too.
Oh yeah, Brennan (BTMC) of all people sent me a recording of a live Profits set. I can email the tracks to you if you'd like.

 Hear all these fuck-up bands who couldn't get it together to release a record.

Jesus Christ ain't that the truth. I sent him some recordings that I had for the show. I really would like to get a copy of those Ninnies/Red Hot Pokers recordings. Do you have any of that?

Reatard / Re: Join the Jay Reatard Singles Club!

As far as I can see, that kid did nothing to deserve getting hit. Looks like he was just dancing.
Since Jay did the punching, it is cool cause he is a punk rock god. Had someone in the audience punched him or anybody else, they  would be an asshole for ruining the show.
As for walking off the stage after 3 songs. That is to be expected at any $12 Jay Reatard show.
I am not a Jay Reatard fan. But in his defense, I will say the fighting...who gives a fuck? It's a punk rock show. Aggressive music mixed with booze. It's bound to happen. Punk has no balls these days.

Lets get dumb.

Yeah, Sweet Sixteens and Midwest Beat are playing a show on May 7 in Lafayette. we'll probably crash at Scooter's if he has a place, that is. Do you have a phone? PM your number. I think the number I have is old.

Yeah I listened to it too. It's pretty good. I got the Romance Novels cassette, I'd like to get the E&HT tape.

Drew are you living in Lafayette still/ again? I'll be there in a few weeks.

I used Imprint for the first time. Got the sleeves in 2 and a half weeks! Look perfect, and very reasonable prices. Very pleased with them! I highly recommend them. And also strongly suggest, to never use thing makers, but I think that has been made obviously clear.

I had the same troubles with thing makers. Thought it was just bad luck for me, but seems everybody is having the same experience. I've heard from a couple people recently who are having troubles. I'll let them mention it if they want to on here.

I had excellent communication with them prior to payment. Once they had my money it was communication break down. They would not return emails or phone calls for weeks or even months.

I left messages asking what was going on. I was polite, saying things such as "I know things happen, problems unexpectedly occur, personal matters come up....etc. I just need some kind of information so I can feel I am not getting robed of my money, something to tell the bands waiting on their records???' Nothing. Nothing at all for weeks at a time.

When he finally sent me an email saying he mailed them out, I asked for the tracking number. Said he would email it to me, never did. I'd call...if he did answer,.....which was not the case usually, but if he did...he was in the basement....somewhere where he could not get to it right away. I was told he would call back in an hour or email...never did. I'd say another month went by...no sleeves no tracking number....nothing. Then all of the sudden he emails me the tracking number, it showed that they just went out the day before. So he lied about when he sent my package.

He also said for my troubles he was going to give me 500 extra sleeves for free. I had no plans to repress and did not need or want an extra 500 sleeves sitting around my apt. Well he never sent them anyway....

I don't see how they can stay in bussines treating people this way. Fuck them.
