"Nervous Breakdown," but good call on "Black Coffee."  "Slip It In" is a really underrated album.

On my local scene message board, they're all posting like as if they're sad and feel bad for this guy.  I don't feel the least bit sorry.  The guy was a fucking egotistical lunatic who made some entertaining (in a car wreck kind of a way) TV shows exploiting animals all the while pretending to be their champion.  Seriously, what kind of an asshole feeds a crocodile while cradling his newborn baby?  Or how about that time he went to Antartica with a film crew and was filmed riding Penguins off of iceburgs?  When I saw him on Larry King a few years ago vilifying the Australian Government for going after him for that and many other things, talking about how if he wasn't out there filming the animals and showing people what they're like, they would go extinct, I wanted to reach through my TV and murder him myself.

I'm digging these records the more I play 'em.  I think they're at the point right now where they're more focused on sound than songs (i.e., band "vibe" over tunes themselves), but I also think they're going to be fucking great when and if they hit their peak.  I also think about this kinda stuff too much. 

I disagree.  They have a great vibe and sound, but its the songs themselves that make it work.  It works because its not trying too hard.  There really isn't a whole lot going on in their songs, but they're very well constructed around very simple riff gimmicks that are instantly catchy.  Everything else is just "touches" to the sounds.  Its the riffs that drive this band; even the last track on the 10" is driven by a swelling, repetitive riff.

Honestly, I think its about time that people started to get tired of the Black Time.  Couldn't for the life of me understand all of the praise that flooded in for their first couple of records.  I think it had more to do with the fact that it came out of nowhere than the fact that it was good.  I think they are generic, Pussy Galore wannabe rock of the worst kind.  No songs, just sound.  The Action Time were way better.

"Ok Don't Say Hi" is a way better album, though.  You should download that.  A true classic of 90s garage.

Fucked Up "Live on CIUT"
Wooden Shjips "Shrinking Moon For You " 10"
Wooden Shjips "Dance, California" video

To Live and Shave and L.A. were fucking great last night.  Somebody recommend me an album to buy, or is more of a "live" thing?

My buddy works at a porno distro and apparently they have a jewish porn call "Shtupin The Tookus".

I have to see this shit.  Jewish girls are fucking hot (well, the hot ones are, at least).

An Albatross' records are hit or miss leaning towards miss, but they are GRREEAT live.  Like, really, really great.  Its like as if the Locust were actually good and liked the MC5.  No shit.

Do people still pay a lot for Dirtbombs 7"s or is it just the Black Lips split (and Black Lips records in general) that brings in the big bucks?  I've got "Pray For Pills" on Purple vinyl or some shit like that.

A lot of you folks mailorder or have your own mailorder services, right?  Anyone know of a place that I could order all of the following things at the same time (to save shipping costs):

Wooden Shjips 45 (Side A of the 10" is an absolute monster and I really enjoyed the instrumental track from the 45 that DJ Rick played on his show last week)
Pissed Jeans "Shallow" gatefold LP & the Sub Pop 45
Carbonas LP
Shit Dogs LP on Rave Up

Any help would be appreciated.

There are regional records that are obviously more common in their respective areas (like the Diodes rec), but you're probably not gonna find shit like that Pure Hell 45. 

Pure Hell as in the all-black punk band from Philedelphia?  Score.

Sir Lord Baltimore are great.  I was just listening to that on the iPod today.

Other stuff:
CCR "1st album"
Pretty Things "Get The Picture"
Vibrators "Pure Mania"
Love "De Capo"
Mummies "Play Their Own Records"
Annihalation Time "II'
Vermonster "Instinctively Inhuman" (or most of it, at least)
The Tears "She Ain't Right" 45
Minutemen "Double Nickles on the Dime"
Void/The Faith split
various Shit Dogs songs (listened to that LP on Rave Up at Sonik today, as well, but it was just a tad bit too expensive for today... too bad, it ruled!)
Spaceshits "More Abuse" 45 (great covers of The Grains of Sand and "Chainsaw" by the Ramones on this one)
Spaceshits "Full Fisted Action" 2x45
Screaming Mee Mees "Going For Grease"
various The Eat songs
The Subhumans "Pissed Off...For a Good Reason" CD
Vertiver "Red Lantern Girls"

+ various episodes of "Art For Spastics" on the pod.

I find the prices still way too high in most Canadian record stores.  Most still haven't adjusted their prices to reflect the current strength of the Canadian dollar (which is around 90 cents U.S. compared to like 62 cents only three or four years ago).  Maybe in Toronto its different; its been a few years since I've hit up a store there.  I assume you went to that new place "Noise Annoys"?

More pop punk talk.  At least 60% of you used to post on the Screeching Weasel Message Board back in the day.  You know you wanna.

I'll go.  I think Green Day's back catalog upto and including "Dookie" has aged pretty well, in retrospect (way better than 98% of the Mutant Pop Records catalog, in other words).  Not shit I'd listen to every day, but its a good tape to throw on in the car every now and then (my friend has this tape and Guns N' Roses "Use Your Illusion II" in his car permanently).  This statement definitely dates me as a 90s kid, but what can you say?  How does re-listening to Green Day feel for someone over the age of...say... 27?  First "punk" show I ever saw was Green Day and the Riverdales at age 13.
