I got Sheer Terror's "Ugly & Proud" 7" in the mail yesterday. I'm as happy with this as Honus is when he gets new Slapshot stuff.

moron - 10-24-2006 at 03:04 PM

stopped at a cd store in CT on my way home this weekend. Got a few things.

Converge - No Heroes
Lagwagon - Duh
Sheer Terror - Old, New...
American Hardcore comp

havent placed my Thorp order yet. Born to Lose has been out every time I go to place it so Ive been holding off until it's back in stock.

moron - 10-24-2006 at 03:06 PM

and Honus... how is that Righteous Jams cd? I didnt really care for Rage of Discipline. Sounded boring, but they were fun live when I saw them. Im thinking of giving them another chance.

clevohardcore - 10-24-2006 at 03:22 PM

Whats the CONVERGE like? Any good.?

moron - 10-24-2006 at 03:57 PM

I havent listened to it yet actually. Im gonna try to remember to put it on my mp3 player tonight so I can listen to it tomorrow. The new stuff they played live sounded good though.

DaveMoral - 10-24-2006 at 03:58 PM

I want that Weird Al joint.... I watched the video for White and Nerdy today.... hilarious.

Seriously, I'm always amazed at how skilled the guy is... he can do practically anything.

Reverend Beat Man "down on your knees"

crazyfists28 - 10-24-2006 at 06:06 PM

i bought the new sparta this afternoon, guys from at the drive in, its just rock but the album is pretty good so far

moron - 10-24-2006 at 06:17 PM

Ive heard stuff from both The Mars Volta and Sparta, and I didnt like either as much as I like At the Drive In.

crazyfists28 - 10-24-2006 at 06:18 PM

sparta is pretty mellow and straightforward, and i agree, at the drive in is better but i like the singer and its good to just relax to

crazyfists28 - 10-24-2006 at 06:19 PM

mars volta is too wacky and out there for me, at least the stuff i heard

Good call on Bob Marley, although Legend is probably the worst place to start with. It's just a "greatest hits" comp, and probably not even the best one. Having said that, you can't go wrong with Bob Marley.



Damn, I was afraid of that. This is my first dip into the world of Bob Marley and I really didnt know what to buy. Oh well... I actually didnt listen to it yet.

newbreedbrian - 10-25-2006 at 11:42 PM

actually the earliest wailers singles were on island records, the early 60's ska era stuff. trojan was a british company, didn't get goin till 67/68 during the skinhead reggae era. they've reissued alot of material from the ska and rocksteady eras but they weren't going then. high quality label for sure and it's nice to see all the vaults being emptied since they got bought out in the late nineties. legend is an ok starting point to get familiar with the man, but there's alot better stuff if you do a little digging around. that being said, the notion that reggae begins and ends with bob marley is a constant pet peeve of mine. it does alot of disservice to people like phyllis dillon, the kingstonians, heptones, dandy livingstone, etc.

DeathByForce - 10-26-2006 at 02:27 AM

what about the studio one singles?

newbreedbrian - 10-26-2006 at 12:57 PM

yea there's definately alot of great studio 1 reissues out there as well. similar material as island was a uk label and the stuff came out in jamaica on coxsone/studio 1 as well as endless amounts of other labels like treasure isle, beverlys, dice etc. generally if something was a big hit in jamaica, it would be issued in the uk. this was especially done a few years later during the early reggae era. Labels like Pama and Trojan (and their various subsidiaries like Downtown) put out a ton of stuff in the UK, eventually alot of it actually produced there. As to what came out on what label exclusively, that's not always so easy. The jamaican record industry was about as shady as it gets.

upyerbum - 10-26-2006 at 02:13 PM

I've got one called "The Wailers and Friends". Bunny, Peter, and Bob are all rude rudies, Rita Marley sings on it and Delroy Wilson and I can't remember who else.
For the record Toots coined the term "reggae".

If you're looking for early ska, "Tougher Than Tough" is a great Trojan comp.

Voodoobillyman - 10-26-2006 at 03:41 PM

tireironsaint - 10-26-2006 at 09:33 PM

Let's see, I picked up a few things while I was in Denver....
On Friday I saw The Hudson Falcons and since I have all their albums I just picked up the Banded Together To Fight Hard Times compilation. I've been meaning to get that and I like it even more than I thought I would. I also hit up a couple of great record stores while I was there, Wax Trax and then Twist & Shout. I got the new album from Reducers SF, which is fuckin' top notch as always, and I picked up Rumblefist by The Bullys, but that hasn't grabbed me quite as much as I hoped. I also got Fear City from HiFi And The Roadburners, that record is fucking great, I'm gonna hafta pick up the rest of their shit. Then I got ahold of a nice gatefold cover vinyl cersion of The Slumlords new On The Stremph! album, but I haven't gotten a chance to throw it on the turntable yet. I got home on Monday and got my Thorp/SGR sale order in. I got My Riot from The Disasters and I think it's their best by far, Sugar Daddie's Hell Or High Water and that is so much better than I expected, and The Generators' Winter Of Discontent which really isn't grabbing me yet. Then yesterday I swung by the local shop and picked up the new Street Dogs album, Fading American Dream, which is every bit as good as I expected.

XHonusWagnerX - 10-28-2006 at 12:42 PM

Nice... lots of people buying some great music!
