New blog.

I started a new blog. Being from Texas, I am starting a blog dedicated to Texas Hardcore. Not only records, but tapes and merch as well. Check it out.

Last Post

I haven't posted in this blog in a very long time.  Incase anyone will ever see this, I will not be posting here again.  I still read a few record blogs (http://endlessquestrecords.blogspot.com/ _ http://recordnerdyo.blogspot.com) but cannot post in my own.  The reason is that for a while, everytime I tried to post something, this website wouldn't allow me to post pictures.  I tried every option I could think of, and nothing would work.  I even tried getting on another computer, as if that would make a difference.  I'm sure some one can tell me how, but it has been too long, and I don't care enough anymore.  Thanks for looking.  I run a record label called thisthatrecords.

Red Lifetime

These have already been posted.  But I recently grabbed this on red vinyl.  Decaydance Records.  I believe this is /250.  I have both of these records that came out on Decaydance and neither of them have inserts.  So, I take it they never came with inserts?  Anyone know?  The No Idea versions all four have inserts, this is why I was confused.

Christmas

I was given a few nice records as christmas presents.  The first one I have listed here is:  Buckeye 7".  Really good band my neighbors are friends with.  They run a community house and have bands do small acoustic shows every now and then.  Always a good time.  I saw these guys there and wasn't able to pick anything up so this is nice.  Check out I Am We at:  www.myspace.com/iamwecommunity.

This was a present from my folks.  Movielife-this time next year  /750.  I have the standard press of this record as well.  Best band.  Best record.

These are two records my best friends got me.  Hot Water Music- forever and counting and Verse- aggression.  Two amazing records.  Thanks guys!  

Soft Clicks

Death is not glamorous- Soft Clicks.  I have been waiting a very long time to receive these records.  I did know the pressing info for these when I bought them but now the Dead and Gone website doesn't have it listed anymore.  I swear I'm getting worse at keeping up with that info.  Each record came with a download card, a poster, and my favorite... the printed sleeve.  To me the printed sleeve just shows how much the label cares and how much they put into a record.  Not that there is anything wrong with the regular boring white dust sleeves, just... it's not as cool.  First record is on a red and clear split.  This is the rare one, I wanna say it was/100 something.  The second is on Black vinyl and this is the standard press.  I do not know the numbers on this color.  Both records have the same packaging.  I Pre ordered these from dead and gone, I've always been worried to order from over seas like this but with DING I had to take the chance.  They're too good.

Dead and Gone records.

Dookie

Obviously this is Dookie.  Pink Vinyl, German press.  I do not know the number but I'm sure its rather large.  Very excited to have this.  This record has Ernie on the back, In the small instance that you didn't know, green day was later sued for having him on the back so the cd version is Ernieless, ha.  

This time next year part 1

Great score on ebay.  Still working on my Movielife collection.  This has to be the best record of all time... wow, that might not be true, but still... great album.  I just got this on blue vinyl too wich is out of 750. Revelation records (I believe) /900  (or 950).

Whenever you're ready.

Here is Fastbreak Whenever You're Ready.  This album is amazing.  I am actually very suprised that I came across this record.  I got this on ebay for really cheap and the first time I looked for it, i won it.  Usually finding records is harder than this.  I guess noone likes them or something.  Well fuck that, this record is good.  Revelation Records, Yellow Vinyl out of 226.

NFG CREW

So I have all these records at home that I haven't been posting.  For some reason 9/10 times I try to upload something to Blogger it doesn't work so I kinda just got tired of trying.  I've had these 7s for a minute now and am just getting around to posting them.  I fucking love NFG and if you do too then this is for you.  This is the 2nd pressing of "Tip Of The Iceburg" on black vinyl.  The 2nd press is only on black and out of 2000.  Believe it or not, these 7s go for a lot on ebay.  I don't have the pre order version (Yellow vinyl with Gorilla Biscuits jacket) and every time I bid on it on ebay it always goes way over 50 bucks.  

Here is the new ISHC 7".  Band is hilarious.  Get into it if you haven't.  All four of these are out of 600.

Record Release copy.

I believe there were 100 of these.  This is Iron Age, constant Struggle record release show version.  I bought this on Ebay, sucks, I didn't live in Texas at the time of this show.  Yellow Vinyl, black cover with pop out letters.  Young Blood Records.

Complete

Won this on ebay.  I just saw Crime in Stereo here in Houston a few days ago.  They had listed that they were selling 20 copies for the whole tour of this record on green for $20 bucks.  They ran out before Houston.  The singer told me he had kids offer up to $80!  I paid about 27 or something like that.  Anyways... I have all three colors now.  Green/200, Gold/500, black w gold/ 2300.

THREE!

Toxic Holocaust- An Overdose Of Death.  I recently just got into this band so obviously had to get this on vinyl.  This was pretty expensive (about $17.00) but I guess it's still worth it.  It's a pretty nice transparent orange record with a printed sleeve (I love these!) and a completely unnesisary oversized poster.  All in all... nice record.

All American Rejects- Move Along.  Don't argue, this band is good.  Hated them until I saw them live.  One of the happiest bands I've ever seen.  They ran around the stage the entire show, laughing and having a blast.  After that I knew these guys were genuine and fell in love with these ultra cheesy pop songs.  Fuck you, this is good.  Plus gatefold cover and sea foam green record! YES!

Hatebreed- Satisfaction Is The Death Of Desire.  It seem Victory is releasing all kinds of hardcore records onto vinyl for some reason.  They're not advertising them (Atleast I haven't seen any) but these records keep popping up around me.  ANYWAYS... I have no idea pressing info on this or if this record was ever on vinyl before.  Anyone? 

Two new old records...

Again, Richard from Ten Crowns came in with a stack of records, bought two of them.  Hes kind of become my unofficial record dealer.  Anyways, Iron Age- Constant Struggle.  Don't have the time to look up the pressing info for this, but there is a bad ass record release version I'm trying to get my hands on.  The next one is Bold- Speak Out.  I've had this record on my I-pod for years and never looked into buying the vinyl.  I'm glad this came along, I listened to the entire thing as soon as I got home.  Very exciting.  Two great records.  

Huge let down.

My boss Ryan gave me this.  Hot Topic was giving this out at a managers meeting they just had.  A side has one song called re education (Through labor) from the new album.  Very bad song.  Sorry Rise Against... its true.  I used to love this band, but this blows.  B side has a Minor Threat cover that I was very excited about.  Rise against do amazing Hardcore covers... but this one not so much.  It was recorded live at a show, everything was great but the vocals, not cool dude.  This was given to me... pretty cool, cause it says Promotional Only on the back... not sure how rare this is.  Or if it even is.  :/

Heres a few

Internet is out at my house so I haven't been able to post these.  Here are a few records that everyone should be into.  Late pressings, nothing rare.  But good records none the less.  Get into it.

There are no words to describe this record. I love this band.  I just bought tickets to see them here in Houston with Polar Bear Club and Broadway Calls.  Record is beautiful.  It's like the words on the jacket. The other one I have of this is black with sliver and white dots to resemble stars.  Very pretty.  Second press... not sure how many there are.

Have Heart- Songs To Scream At The Sun.  This is a great record, but I guess I'm just like everyone else, this cover looks like some "Chumbawumba" shit.  Don't deny it... it's true.  Got this from Hot Topic as well... this one was in good shape.  For once.  I'm not dogging on HT, just not too fond of how people treat the vinyl.

Muiciple Waste- The Art Of Partying.  Bought this from Hot Topic.  Sucks because of course the packaging was fucked up, not only because its a picture disk but because these kids simply do not know how to care for vinyl, but I work there, so why not take advantage of 20% off.  Can't find the pressing info for this record.

Have Heart

Don't know the pressing info on this.  But I do know its one of the final pressings.  The other was blue vinyl.  Bottled up records.  Great 7", if you can get your hands on it... all four songs are good.  

Die Young

Just got these from Richard from Ten Crowns.  Die Youngs first two 7 inches.  Each are out of 500 and the only color of each pressing.  Obviously OOP.  If you don't know who Die Young are... get into em.  They still have some vinyl available.  Now that I have these, my Die Young collection is about finished.  I don't have test pressings though and I don't have the tour cover for the Loss 7" and the silk screened out of 50 cover for the Invade split 7". 

*UPDATE*  Turns out there a few more that I don't have!  I love records.

Flex Your Head

This is a record that I've had in  my collection for a while.  I wish I knew more about it.  As far as I know this is an original but from the price I paid for it (about 15 bucks at Sound Exchange in Houston) it's probably not.  But then again, I've searched everywhere to find out and as far as I know it is (if you know, hit me up).  Last night the Crew and I went to see Henry Rollins do a spoken word performance (Wich was amazing) and we met him afterwards.  This was my second time seeing and meeting him, if you haven't I highly suggest it.  Amazing show.  I brought my copy of Flex Your Head for him to sign and I was fortunate enough to make this happen.  Check out his tour dates and go see him if you haven't.  

Selective Wreckage

Crime in Stereo Selective Wreckage.  Not too much to say about this record, except for the fact that I missed out on the rare color, just like the last CIS record.... you can read about that a few posts below.  I know if you're reading the date this looks a little more than Obvious that I would have missed the green vinyl but I've had these a while, I'm just now getting around to posting this.  I just won the Green copy on ebay so now I have all 3.  When I get that, I will post it.  Records came with a cd inside for all 3 copies and a nice poster.

Ps:  The 2nd gold... is spoken for.

Green Vinyl: 200

Gold Vinyl: 500

Black W/Gold Vinyl: 2300

Thank you No Idea!

So I ordered the first three colors of this Repress (No Idea Records) as soon as they were available.  Whatever I did, I didn't do it right.  My order never went through.  I emailed them several times and then several more times letting them know I wasn't getting a response from them.  Finally one day at random I check my spam folder and about 6 emails from No Idea are in there.  They have said they never got my order and I need to re order them.  So I do.  I then notice there is another pressing on white vinyl.  The next day an invoice is emailed to me saying they only charged me for one.  So first thought "first 3 colors must have sold out and all I get is the white... FUCK!" wich is what happened.  I figured that was that.  A few days pass and dude running mailorder over there gives me a call on my cell and says they have 5 of each color at the office.  He says they were saved specifically for the 5 members of Lifetime to have one of each color.  Apparently he gave the dudes a call letting them know about this specific incident and asked if they wanted these records or if he should sell them to me, and as you can see... they were cool and I got them.  Not that it's any difference at all... but its still pretty cool that mine were the copies saved for the band themselves.  I now have all 4 colors of the repressing and the original on black.  Now I just gotta get that red. Here is the pressing info for the no Idea pressing.    

Ps: No Idea sells records for $7.00   Fuck everyone else.  You can't beat $7.00.

Orange Vinyl: 500
