Music Shit / Re: Records You Bought Strictly Because of the Cover

« on: March 08, 2010, 01:10:19 AM »

It's a christian record with some decent jive talk.

I really gotta scan the 'Roots Of Metal' LP I picked up the other day with satan rocking hard on a goat skull guitar.

cant believe there is still copies of the feelin lucky lp floating around.

I still see new copies of it at record stores in Brisbane. wasn't there only like 100 copies or some obscenely small amount pressed?

Yeah! And the original lot of covers got wrecked when Ben's house flooded. All of the vinyl has water stains. It took them ages to reprint the sleeves...they'd pretty much broken up by that point. Especially after the drummer started seeing the singer's ex-girlfriend while they still lived together.

Ben had a fake skate punk before that called R.A.D.

I put the numberplates on with velcro, so I just park wherever in the city, chain it to a pole, and take off the plates. Parking on a bike rules.

So what city do you live in? Cause I've heard when people do this in NYC with their scooters, they get fuckin' TOWED.

I'm not brazen enough to try it in SF, I work at civic center, always lots of DPT's cruisin' around looking to ticket. I've thought of making some fake pedal contraptions to stick onto my motorcycle when parking it, make it look like it's got pedals. ha.

I'm in Sydney Australia. I got one of those Kryptonite heavy duty chains that it takes a plasma welder to cut through.

For a while some company here started making these shitty electric 'scooters' with fake pedals on em so you didn't have to register them. The cops got wise to it pretty quick and changed some laws. I think the only person that got ripped off was my dumbshit housemate.

I've got one of those too. Never ride it around though. Haven't ridden in NYC for over two years, so I'm thinking I should sell it now. I used to drive an ss180 when I lived in Massachusetts. Some jocks lit it on fire.

Fucking hell, I hope you set those jocks on fire.

I've been riding this for the last few years - picked it up cheap when I was working as a scooter mechanic a few years ago

Vespa Primavera 125 ET3. Maybe it's too gay for you motorcycle bros.
[That's not me in the b/ground. I hate all the scooterist mid-life-crisis pricks around here.]

Got the paintjob as an insurance job, and looks like I'll be getting another after getting knocked off by a cab driver.

I've got a couple more bikes in the backyard I'll get around to fixing some time. Maybe when I'm old/get a real job/stop playing in bands. Like a weird Italian 1960 Agrati Garelli Capri (like this one except more beat to shit and minus an engine)

I think someone outta England booted the LP a couple years ago - still comes up on ebay pretty regularly.
Same with the 'Sing n Play Doin the Banana Split' EP, although you should be able to get an orig of that pretty cheap.
