The Arrivals - Marvels Of Industry

I think the labels are backwards on this? Such a great record.

Jesse - s/t

I did not spend my rent money on this! Less than $50 actually. VG+ copy but only due to scuffs from carelessly being crammed in and out of the sleeve. Sound is very clean.

Drive - Greasegun

I'll stop embarrassing the old farts after this. NM- if not a NM copy.

Drive - Go Out Be Happy

Embarrassing the old farts again! Very clean VG++ copy.

Government Issue - Give Us Stabb Or Give Us Death

This in on beautiful red vinyl but only a VG+ copy. Because whoever owned it before me didn't take care of his records and let a dirty needle drag clumps of dust around it.

The Republic Of Freedom Fighters - s/t

This is a pretty obscure emo record. And I don't mean that makeup wearing, tattoo covered, girl pants, bedhead bullshit. VG++ copy. Kind of like The Hated with more distortion and gravelly vocals.

Jawbreaker - 24 Hour Revenge Therapy

People say the vinyl blows the cd away on this one. VG++ copy.

Trapdoor Fucking Exit - Crooked Life, Straight World

Yet another from my first Fest. The other TFE albums are good but don't hold a candle to this one! I'm glad No Idea only had this on vinyl at the time seeing this amazing gatefold artwork. And on blue vinyl!

Gang Of Four - Entertainment

It's only a VG+ copy but I'm sure this has seen lots and lots on play!

A Death In The Family - This Microscopic War

First time spinning the LP version. On brown vinyl.

The Arrivals - Volatile Molotov

I got this after possibly the best Arrivals show I've seen. JDM filmed part of it.

Gorilla Angreb - Bedre Tider

If you want to compare Daylight Robbery to someone say Gorilla Angreb! Another from the long list of records procured from Fest.

Drive - Out Freakage

I'm gonna embarrass a couple of old farts with this one! NM in shrink with the bonus 7". And it sounds pretty damn good.

OK Pilot - Nerves

So fucking Punk Rock!!!

Life Giving Waters - Almost There...

Vinyl version of the first UAR hardcopy release. Ilkka was nice enough to send me a copy with my CDs. Maybe he was just happy to not have one song titled "loose lips, shink ships" after I proofread the artwork? Hah! White vinyl with green splatter in a gatefold sleeve. Gorgeous!

A Death In The Family - Origins

The first favorite band I got to see live. When's the next record?!

The Dicks - Kill From The Heart

I got this at my first Fest if I recall. It's an "unofficial" pressing on Rich Daddy with white labels.

The Arteries - Blood, Sweat & Beers

By farrrrr one of the best bands I ever had the pleasure of putting on! So bummed I didn't get to see them last month. Pink vinyl too. But that was such an odd place to split the tracks!

China Drum - Self Made Maniac

Jawbreaker - Bivouac

♥ VG++ with excellent sound quality. I have to say this is my favorite Jawbreaker album. They're all excellent in their own way but this is the one I keep coming back to the most. There's also the Donnie Darko bunny on the cover before the movie even came out.

The Future Now - Hazy Orange Sunday

It's a shame no one came to see these guys when I put them on early this year. Good album. Great dudes. Green vinyl with orange splatter. And it took me a few years to realize how much they sound like Nirvana. I want their new 7"!!

Off With Their Heads - From The Bottom

Found this at McKay about four months back. This is my first time hearing this album period! NM on mixed purple vinyl. But no idea which pressing it is as every other one had runs with purple. Fun Fact: this is the only O LP in my collection.

The Germs - (GI)/What We Do Is Secret

"unofficial" copy of (GI)/What We Do Is Secret that I picked up at my first Fest. #383/500 with white labels.

The Replacements - Don't Tell A Soul

Never heard this one either. Picked it up at the store a few months ago. Absolutely MINT copy! Sounds great. It's The Replacements - Don't Tell A Soul since you can't read it.

Nothing In Common - Leaving Without Moving

I nearly had a fit when this turned up on eBay a few years ago... By far and away one of the best bands Germany has ever produced. And it was tragic when they called it a day in 2006. Truly tragic. NM- black vinyl in gatefold sleeve.

Four Letter Word - The Band That Time Forgot

I find it quite amusing that Welly told me to buy this on eBay. Beautiful NM- copy on lime green vinyl. First spin and I'm sure there's a few tracks I haven't heard before. This spoken word track by Andy Higgins is a trip!

Bob Mould - Workbook

This showed up in the store quite unexpectedly about four months ago. So it's past time I listened to it. NM copy!! And it sounds fucking amazing. Also the first solo album I've picked up by Bob and it's quite good.

Fifth Hour Hero - Scattered Sentences

Such a great band! I got this from No Idea house at my first Fest. And this is obviously the first spin with the amount of flax I just dug out of the hole. Fourth pressing I reckon since it's on purple mixed vinyl. And unfortunately a bad pressing that sounds complete shit.

The Hated - What Was Behind

Hated records are exceedingly hard to come by!! Unless you wanna spend your rent money on eBay for one. This is the version mastered at the wrong speed. And a VG+ copy at best but finding a NM copy is even harder than finding Hated records to start with!

Blow One's Cool - Evil Nipple Session

Blow One's Cool is a Japanese pop punk band that were briefly on Snuffy Smile. I think this is the first spin... Fun Fact: I got this from one of Leatherface's ex-bass players. Rob Turnbull if I recall? And he knew who I was soon as I asked if he was who I thought he was.

A Death In The Family - Small Town Stories

One of my most favorite albums ever!!! I really hope ADITF top it some day.

The Amistad - Kept Under By A Generation Of Ghosts

First time hearing this on vinyl. Also a best of 2010! I think this came from a trade with Boss Tuneage? The Amistad are several ex-members of Four Dumb Kids and they picked up right where FDK left off. Really solid album and the artwork is great as well.

Daylight Robbery - Through The Confusion

The only American record I brought today. I hands down would of called it the best of 2010 if I had heard it in 2010! One of the best bands I've ever had the pleasure of putting a gig on for too. This is on beautiful clear blue vinyl.

Broccoli - Home

First time spinning this one. I had no idea it had an alternate cover from the cd til it arrived! It's a beautiful NM- copy too. Not bad for an ebay find and Broccoli is such an amazing band.

Frankie Stubbs - s/t

I bought this new direct from Subterranean circa 2003. Which you can probably still do!

The Phoenix Foundation - No Love Lost

I traded Combat Rock Industry for a copy of this. Really solid album.

Big Boys - Lullabies Help The Brain Grow/No Matter How Long The Line At The Cafeteria, There's Always A Seat

I bought this at my first Fest. This is the first time I dropped the needle and it sounds pretty amazing. It's weird how much different this sounds on vinyl.

The Amistad/New Bruises split

I just noticed New Bruises sounds kind of like 40 Hells.

The Arrivals/The Arteries split

That only took, what? Six weeks?
