GAME OVER MAN

Too busy to bother with this shit (as you can see). I haven't ripped any vinyl in months. Since the last update I bought a house, got a dog, and went back to school.... too much shit going on.

I had stuff already ripped that I never posted so maybe I'll just post all that stuff (minus artwork and reviews) in one big list (Seanocide style).

Later!

Blah

No updates in a while.... taking a few classes (finally trying to go back to school again) and super-busy with the puppy and the usual stuff to do at work/home.

Finally got another turntable though that is hooked up to the PC so maybe at least that will help things.

Will post more stuff soon.....

Maximumrocknroll issues needed...

Anyone have the following issues of MRR they are willing to give up?

1-4, 10, 22, 35-39, 41, 45-49, 52, 62, 73-75, 95, 123-125, 173, 200

I'm trying to complete a whole set.... Have doubles of the following issues for trade:

8, 11, 12, 14, 15, 18, 20, 23, 26, 27, 29, 33, 44, 80, 138, 150, 151 pt.1 &2, 152, 153, 156 pt.1 & 2, 158, 159

Plus, I'd probably also be willing to trade vinyls for the early issues.

Help me out!

Nerveskade/Mundo Muerto live

Saw Nerveskade (PDX) again last night along with Mundo Muerto. Nerveskade blew me away again.... Drummer tears it up and they manage to combine their noisy/blown out guitar sounds really well with their bouncy bass.... hard to explain I guess (for some reason I think about RIPCORD and [early] GAI while watching them) and must be experienced live. Super bummed that they had no new music to buy (I bought a button) since I had heard they had a "test press/tour version" of some 7" or something at the beginning of their tour. Guess I'll have to wait for the regular release....

Still haven't really unpacked so I haven't been working on recording any vinyls.... have some stuff I've already uploaded to mediafire that I just need to type out tracklists for/find pictures. So.... more stuff coming soon. I promise!

Moving....

In the middle of moving and fixing up the house I just bought. The only reason why anything has even been posted on here in the last couple of weeks is because I had a stockpile of ripped stuff (which is now dwindling...) and I scheduled them to automatically post.

Hopefully my records (and tapes!) will finally be out of the garage soon and ripping stuff will be more frequent/easier.

Looking forward to some good shows finally happening in April/May.... AI/WARCRY, HJERTESTOP, SKITKIDS, and DESTINO FINAL. Holy shit!

Seriously....

C'mon. What the fuck is this shit? It's supposed to be a sheep. Not a bison.

In other news.... I got some cool ass BLACK FLAG and X buttons from the 80s and also a cool STITCHES button in Pasadena along with a ton of Kurt Vonnegut books for $1 a piece.

Stuff that I'll post soon = more PDX stuff (DEATHCHARGE, FINAL MASSAKRE) and more Japanese stuff (FINAL BLOODBATH, DEFECTOR 1st 7").

Trade list updated!

Updated the trade list again.

Good traders from the PE board = xoscar17x and sniperfucker

P.S. Sean, you gotta have something to trade... c'mon. I'll even take demos (originals only!).

P.P.S. Lalo.... trade me that first SEX/VID 7" goddammit!

Blah pt.2

Updated the trade list. A couple of things are gone (hopefully the dudes sending don't flake) and I also added a few more things I found that I have for trade that I missed for some reason.

Blah/Trade List

Gonna try to post all the remaining stuff originally on Lalo's blog soon just to get it out of the way (don't know why I even started... probably should've just left it there but I'm very anal and feel the need to have all my crap here together on one blog). Besides that stuff, I have a few EPs and surprisingly a few 12"s (one CD release even!) to post soon so there'll be plenty of stuff coming. I just wish I had a scanner.... either I steal photos found online or take them with a digital camera (which don't look too good).

LEBENDEN TOTEN new stuff + live

Just got back from the 2nd of two LEBENDEN TOTEN shows. Playing the new LP as I type this.... probably my favorite thing they've done so far (although the first 7" is pretty high up there too...). Seriously, the song 'Near Dark' is soooo fuckin' good. I fell in love with the song live and even though I've already sent out for the LP through the mail I bought another copy today from the band just so I wouldn't have to wait to listen to that song again. Fuck! This band sounds so much tighter live now than the last time I saw them (about 3 or 4 years ago?). The pogo parts fucking kill too. Big thanks to Gus for having the band play these two shows locally before flying back home to Portland after their Japan/Australia/New Zealand tour. Also, fellow PDX band NERVESKADE was really good too. Got their demo and I'll be sure to pick up their vinyl releases as they come out.

Beggars can't be choosers....

Hmm.... I noticed while listening to some of my recordings in the car that some of them have some 'clicking' noises. I guess I was fooling around with other shit on my PC while recording this stuff. I guess I'll try to fix it later and in the meantime I'll replay everything I haven't uploaded to make sure it doesn't sound all fucked up. If there's too much of that shit going on I won't bother too upload it like that.... I haven't found anything major so far though (mostly on some stuff I recorded for myself that I wasn't even going to upload anyway and two other tracks have like one 'click') and you fuckers just freeload the music (without any comments!!!) so beggars can't be choosers.

2008 BEST/WORST

Best records of 2008? I don't know because a year is too damn long... I can't remember everything I bought and I definitely can't remember if things were in early 2008 or late 2007. With that in mind, highlights (probably leaning very heavily towards the later months of 2008 since I know they were for sure in 2008).

BEST

The Estranged - live at Gus' pad (twice) and ALL records (LP, 3 7"s, and the split with Autistic Youth). Great band live and none of the records disappoint. Amazing punk for fans of MISSION OF BURMAN, WIPERS, etc... blah.

AUTISTIC YOUTH - ALL records released in '08. I think the LP and maybe some others might be from the prior year but who cares... I just got it and I think most of their stuff came out this year. Great melodic punk band (also from PDX!) that makes me think of the ADOLESCENTS a lot.. maybe if NO HOPE FOR THE KIDS had a baby with THE ADOLESCENTS it would equal this band? Something like that.....

GAUZE - 5th LP This thing just totally blew me away. I really can't believe that dudes old enough to be my dad are playing shit this intense. So fucking amazing.

MASSHYSTERI - 7" This band is sooooo good. Somehow even better than their previous band THE VICIOUS but I think that band was going in this direction anyway (based on the last 7"). I'm sure the new full-length would make my list but I'm still waiting for the vinyl on that one (CDs = suck).

LEATHERFACE - Live I was so bummed that I missed out on them at Chaos in Tejas... luckily they also played some West Coast dates.

INVASION - It's like fucking KURO in Spanish. Killer!

VAURIO - Sortoa Ja Vainoa 7" Killer Finnish punk.... I still can't get over how good some of those 80s Finnish punk bands are. The first track alone blows away most other records I heard this year. It's old stuff reissued this year so it still counts.....

V/A TOKYO CRUSTIES COMP 7" I know it's not new but I finally scored a copy on vinyl! Yay me! And only $6 too.....

Honorable mentions go to: NN s/t 7", SEX/VID "communal living" 12", the PJ BONNEMAN solo 7", PORTISHEAD live

I might add more as I remember what else came out this year.....

WORST

3rd Night of LATINO PUNK FEST - Biggest group of assholes combined. Ever. Luckily CRUDOS made up for it by putting on an excellent "make-up" show a month later.

Flyers - As in, lack of them. No one makes flyers anymore.... I hate this.

Stomach viruses - I'm still getting over it.... stuck eating mostly bananas, rice, crackers and applesauce. I want to eat normal food again!

CRUDOS/DESPISE YOU/CROM this Saturday afternoon

So the "makeup" show for October's Latino Fest is this Saturday afternoon and truth be told I'm not even looking forward to it. I love LOS CRUDOS but their attempt to play at Latino Fest was a total disaster. CRUDOS meant (and still mean) a lot to me but there is no point in them playing to a bunch of drunken macho assholes. I already paid so I might as well go but I'm not expecting anything great. The only saving grace for this show is the fact that they only have the 3 bands that didn't get to play playing. 3 hours probably won't allow enough time for everyone to get wasted and belligerent.... Plus CROM had some funny banter the last time I saw them but I couldn't even see them (ditto for DESPISE YOU) when I "saw" them at some warehouse in downtown last year. The space had a big skate ramp where the bands played but no stage and everyone was crowding around the bands. I'm not a tall fucker and I wasn't feeling all the sweat so I mostly listened from the back. I'm hoping this place at least has a stage.

Anyways, read more chisme (gossip for you gringos) about Latinos fucking up their own fest here:

Yet another punk/hardcore record blog.....

I decided to start my own blog since I've been recording more records down to MP3 recently. I was previously posting stuff on Lalo's blog (amargadodelavida.blogspot.com) but now I have my own to post more stuff/talk all the shit I want.
