Music Shit / Re: Scientist reissues on Numero

« on: August 15, 2015, 05:14:09 PM »

what numero stuff has sounded bad?  I have a bunch of stuff on the label and it all sounds pretty great.  the scientist blood red sounds on par with the og.  I ended up with the numero one as a gift and played it last night.

does it though?  After discogs and paypal fees you're clearing like, $1.50 a record. If you can get $1-2 per record at a store and you don't have to go to the post office, don't have to deal with someone filing a claim on you, don't have to owe as much to discogs at the end of the month, and end up getting close to the same amount of money....

I've managed to see Dawn of Humans close to a dozen times in the last 4 years and they're amazing every time.  I don't really dig the records as much as most people, but they are the nyc punk band.  When dawn of humans eventually breaks up I'll probably cease being as interested in nyc hardcore.
edit to add:  This is my favorite DOH show footage.  Show was with Una Bestia Uncontrolable (best band).  watch the whole video.

I would accept a 4.50 offer on a $5 record instantly.  That's a no brainer! Selling records for less than $5 on discogs is basically a waste of time.  Take em to a store

Non-Music Shit / Re: This vertical record player thing

vertical record players aren't a new thing.  I don't know why they would bother trying to make a slightly less shitty one.  stupid idea no matter what.

he bought a record from me and tried to trade with me.  I wasn't having it because it was super weird all around experience. 

As for the original question, if the offer is within 10-15% off range then I sometimes move the sale off of discogs, get them to pay as a gift, and end up making the same amount or more.

The boot of Trash is actually pretty great sounding.  I assumed it would sound awful but it's pretty fine

I think thats better then it sounding like every other fucking unmemorable Burger records/"mutant hardcore"/fill in the blank _________ whatever band of the internet age.
Ps-Eric(k) Ma(e)yer rules!

I agree with your first part in that it's cool a band can just be an awesome live band and people get psyched, but this sentence is weird. This band would fit in and do well at The Fest but because they have good-dudes-backed-hard they are a current hype band, and they are indeed the kind of band that should be filling in the blank in your sentence.

Music Shit / Re: What Are You Listening To And What Do You Have To Say About it? PART VI

« on: June 22, 2015, 08:10:13 AM »

I was talking to a friend about punk bands from the middle of nowhere in the south and how I have a huge affinity for them.  I dug out this recording by The Big Girls.  The singer and guitar player in this band was in another dirgy southern-bumfuck-punk band but when the guitar player in that band died, he started Big Girls.  Then he died.  City and suburb dwelling punks like myself will probably never really understand how hard it was to be a punk in those towns, but this tape is actually pretty listenable.  Wish they had been a band longer (and had a better name).  Kid knew how to write songs

Is there someone "cool" in Tenement that's making everyone like them? Or some sort of association? Because that band sounds like Hot Water Music or something equally as offensive. Somebody please explain this to me.

agree on hot water music.  The first time I heard the tenement record all I could think is "I bet No Idea put this out". 

stuff I like:

Gowanus mutant Comando 7" : it pains me to say anything positive about the current worst live band in america (now that culo is done), but this record is actually good.  I'm convinced they just hired randoms to play the parts on this 7" because it's just miserable to watch live (and not in that "they're so bad they're good" way that I'm sure cool guys are spinning it as.  it's just bad).  Record is great.  an instant classic of the genre

Anasazi LP - what could have been the lp of the year sounds like literal farting.  Super bummed that this is the production they went for. I think that the current sound of NYC (shitty pressing plant + shitty recording + no mastering) is a bummer because the quality of the bands is so much better than any of the records.  So many of the current singles and lp's that adam and john are putting out are slightly warped that it's hard to not notice how poorly of a job that plant is doing.  The art is always top notch, the packaging well done, and they're on top of it with shipping now.  But, the songs on this are hits, so I wish the actual end-product was as well.  "what could have been".

Sheer Mag single - now that the backlash has started it'll be cool to see how this record is viewed in hindsight.  The song is SO good and catchy.  Another "why did they choose this as the sound?" but the song is good enough that it doesn't matter.

Glue 7" - it came out in 2014, but since anyone that ordered from video disease won't see it till the second half of 2015, can we count it as 2015?

Barcelona LP - proof that this group of spanish punks are the most exciting musicians in hardcore.

Blazing Eye live sets - a demo-tape band that just kills it live.  I guess they have a record now, but I haven't seen it in real life.  Even if the weather is too nice in california to make good punk records, this still kills. 

L.O.T.I.O.N. - Because I'm too young to have seen the prodigy.

altho sadly I'm hearing so many echoes of shit I caught the first time around in some
"new" bands that it's a little depressing to think about.

That's fucking nuts.

Make your own fucking t-shirts, you fucking "punks."


Basement show in 2015:

"Cool Gang Green shirt."

"Thanks, got it on eBay for only 4 bills!"

"Fuck you."

all of these shirts are clearly being bought by 40 year olds "reliving their youth" and spending their IRA contributions on dumb concert tee's because they don't make enough to afford a fancy car or a hot new wife.  New-punks are too busy buying lump and the hammerheads tie-dye Alex Heir enamel pins to spend any time bidding on anything pre- "What The..." that isn't from europe or japan.

Music Shit / Re: Best version of a cover,

« on: May 04, 2015, 03:00:15 AM »

I have a collection of "california dreamin" covers and think that my favorite is Bobby Womack's version.  Horns play the lead vocal line and he sings the backup.  Super sick. 

DMZ elevators cover is amazing, but Roky wins obviously.

Mick Farren "play with fire" might be better only because the girls singing backup were tone-deaf.  It's awesome and they're flat the whole time.

Anything Dead Moon covered is probably better than the original. 

She Trinity "Fought the Law" is my favorite version of that song.  punker than the clash and a decade earlier.
