That mega sucks, he's out for the year then. That's pretty much the same injury that has derailed Kendrys Morales for almost two full seasons. Suxxxxx, I hope they get the surgery right the first time around.
Eli Whiteside is a decent enough catcher, but this def puts the Giants into full-blown trade mode. They need to get a power bat from somewhere (not at C, naturally) to stick in the middle of the lineup.
Sending a text isnt City.
Trying to call him on a pay phone is.
i've heard monoshock, did not think they sucked, i think i've heard comets on fire but nothing i can remember. i was thinking this was going to be current bandseverything (two albums and a few singles) up to blue cathedral are worth the grippin. some would disagree, but the band was super solid until said album. but i'm also a sucker for most things six organs related. but this band ripped the fuck outa monoshock, so i might be outa my ass anyways.
I'm more of a fan of the later period of Comets On Fire. They got better with each album. Definitely dig their latest LP "Avatar" the most. Only saw them once and it was crazy loud and very good.
I wouldn't have thunk it but I can't stop listening to the new Urge Overkill album.
Not perfect by any stretch but the good stuff is really good. In the UO scheme of things I'd say it is better than "Saturation" and easily good enough to make you forget that "Exit the Dragon" ever existed. The first three songs are perfect and I think I've listened to them almost 20 times since yesterday afternoon. I was too busy to go see them last week and now I am super bummed about it.
So Day 3 report: Another good evening. LENZ tread that line between punk, rock, and glam and remind me a bit of a lot of obscuro 70s glam acts like David Werner and Dorian, but brought into the now. Loved their set...
Biff Bang Pow has that much shit? Well shiver me timbers. or whatever. That list is giving me weird feelings. I dunno why, I only know like half the bands. I don't own an original but MBV 'Realise' for singles with JAMC maybe second, Isn't Anything and Bandwagonesque for LPs.
This thread got real.
This back cover's pretty cool.There are a few different colors. Mine's yellow. Don't know the stats re: which color is from which pressing.
first press looks like this:
it has the band's address on the back, which was removed from subsequent pressings.
Who the fuck are The Loft? Are they the OG Loft-Pop band? I actually really need to know this.
(sidebar: are The Feelies Loft-Pop Ground Zero?)
(addendum: what does teenagegurls think of this?)
To clarify, that 12" was not really just a test pressing. It was made way later and has been repressed multiple times. They had a few at Rough Trade in late 90s (not sure why I didn't buy it). This is blurry heresay but i believe the story goes that McGee pressed these to grab some quick cash, without band's consent, repressing them here and there and leaking them underthe table for cash flow (perhaps during his drug years). I think there might be as many as a few thousand?
you are correct. it was originally supposed to be the test-pressing and was sold via the rough trade shop for something like 50 pounds--not sure about it being made way later, but mcgee kept bringing them in periodically. the initial claim is that it was a 100 copy pressing, but it's more likely somewhere around 500-1,000. it pops up infrequently and usually goes for $2-300.
i got mine for FREE.
Original 'Upside Down' 12" test pressing with Mayking labels pictured above, less than a dozen of these pressed Feb '85. A few months later 100 white label copies were pressed, McGee would take a box of these to the Rough Trade shop when ever funds were low. Possibly another 100 copies might have been pressed but definitely nowhere near 500-1,000 copies exist. Rough Trade sold them for 30 pounds each in 1985 (not late 90's).
Well, I really don't give a fuck, and Ii cant remember the details of how many nerdling numbers there were, but I did see a few in the late 90s when I worked there. But whatever, just thougt you might enjoy some factual information.
Could the test pressings you saw in the late 90's have been 'Cracking Up' or 'I Love Rock 'n' Roll' (1998 records, also on Creation)?
