I do love a new purchase

[Vuk]

Daitro - Y
Active Minds/Yacopsae split
Kayo Dot - Dowsing Anemone with Copper Tongue
Alison's Halo - Dozen
Beau Navire - Life Moves
We Were Skeletons/MIWA split

The dude who I bought the Alison's Halo single from also had a 7-inch from some other random band in there. I googled them, but I can't even find anything about them there.

[michaelicious]

Here are some crappy backwards laptop pictures of some things I have picked up.


Elfin Saddle's Wurld. Easily the coolest thing I have bought recently. This 10" accompanies the DVD release of the film Wurld which is pretty amazing. You can read more about it here.


LP by a Halifax/Montréal band called Play Guitar. Dumb name but a great band. Bob Weston mastered it!


Some 7"s from a Toronto-by-way-of-Ottawa band called METZ. Easily one of the best bands going in Canada right now. The best live show I have seen in the past year.


LP by a dude called Electroluminescent. Saw him with Women a couple months ago. He's got a cool moustache.


Bonus 7" that came with Public Strain pre-orders, and split 7" of Bruce Peninsula with Muskox/The Gertrudes with PS I Love You. Really good version of Bruce P.'s "Shanty Song".

Canadian music!

[valley_parade]

At first, I thought the very top one was Clutch's "Robot Hive/Exodus".

[Vuk]

In First Person/Titan split
Trap Them - Darker Handcraft (tour edition)
New Lows - New Lows

I also got an original of Slip It In by Black Flag, though it's without any inserts. Can't complain, since it's in great condition.

[valley_parade]

New Lows the Mikey Erg/Jon Weiner project?

[Vuk]

I think that's New Low.

New Lows is really death metal and thrash influenced hardcore from Deathwish.

[valley_parade]

Mikey's in so many bands that he's just ripping off names now.

[valley_parade]

Two 7"s from Third Man Records:

the Dungen single from the Blue Series, and the interview with the auctioneer from the Green Series. Neat.

[KurtMcAllister]

awww yeah.

[StaedlerMars]

FUCK YOU

My All Eternals Deck arrived in the mail, looks like I didn't make the cassette cut off. Still, really frikken excited.

[Catacombs]

I pre-ordered the new EitS album the other day.  Pretty excited for it.

[Vuk]

Alison's Halo - Dozen
Neef - 23

Never heard of latter band, but it came with the AH 7-inch and they were 10 dollars together, so it's pretty much win-win. Just listened too, and they're pretty cool.

[valley_parade]

UP THE (pop-)PUNX!

The new Teenage Bottlerocket 7" "Mutilate Me", and the Dopamines' "Soap and Lampshades" 7". Along with a Lawrence Arms t-shirt.

I was going to pre-order the Old Firm Casuals debut EP, but the order wouldn't ship until late April. I'll get it separately when it comes out.

[KurtMcAllister]

God damn I love this band. I was hoping to get one of the copies on black vinyl, but by the time I got to it they were only available in a pack with all three colourways, and I really don't need three copies of the same album.

[valley_parade]

The new Small Brown Bike ("Fell & Found") is up for pre-order on the No Idea website. 500 gold, 500 white. I opted for gold.

[sean]

lolololol im wearing a monument tshirt right now.

i should probably order that album, i need money shit.

[Vuk]

Grails - Deep Politics
Burning Love - Songs for Burning Lovers (European Tour Edition)
Fucked Up - Dance of Death 7"

The Grails vinyl is amazing...so old school looking.

[valley_parade]

So yesterday was Record Store Day. 

A) I didn't get a chance to stop at a Newbury Comics in Boston. Sadface.

B) I got the Ragan/Fallon split a few years back. Wasn't too impressed with it.

[Koremora]

By the way, anyone that missed out on the new Grouper LPs: you can now pick them up in Forced Exposure or Thrill Jockey's website in limited numbers. Hurry! Just got mine

[Lexington, 125]

Mr. Doctor I want that Nadja album

[valley_parade]

Heavy Rocks pre-order with a t-shirt. Not sure if I made the 500 cutoff for purple vinyl or not.

[Mr. Doctor]

Mr. Doctor I want that Nadja album

Sorry dude, it's mine.... MINE! 

[Retrospectre]

Record store day:

TV On The Radio - Nine Types Of Light
Superchunk - Majesty Shredding
Boris - Amplifier Worship
Archers Of Loaf - Icky Mettle

[Vuk]

I love Ion D, but man, Minus the Herd is a terrible record.

Recently got these in the mail:

We Were Skeletons/MIWA - split
The Pains of Being Pure at Heart - Belong

[Mr. Doctor]

I love Ion D, but man, Minus the Herd is a terrible record.

No, it isn't I would fight you for it.
Not as good as their latest? Sure... Terrible? hell no. I'm far from being a fan boy since this is just the first cd I bought.
Nothing brilliant but still very tight record.

[Vuk]

I mean compared to others playing that style of metalcore (lol Acacia Strain) this is good, but Ion D is on a whole other level compared to all that garbage. I think nothing touches Breathing Is Irrelevant, and especially Solace, so even though the last one was okay, I just hate that they took that direction. Also, nothing compares to Gab on vocals...dude is out of this world.

[Mr. Doctor]

I don't have a big trouble with metalcore than most people usually have, there's good metalcore, Burst being a major example.
Even if you were right that the other ones are better, then I even more happy that I loved this one, it means that I will never feel dissapointed with their discography. And Cursed is cool man... mkay.
I fail to see something going wrong with Minus The Herd and what I've heard from Cursed, the songwritting is awesome, they actually know how to use breakdowns without being a huge fucking cliche, the vocals suits the music fine (I don't know the other vocalist so I think I'm very objective here), Very technical without loosing feeling (and I usually HATE technical/progressive music), the production and the bassy sound is just gorgeous...etc

It seems too many people are ditching metalcore (and other things that end with core except hardcore or grindcore) just because of the name, which is quite sad. Those guys totally miss bands like The Human Abstract, Born Of Osiris, Burst, War From A Harlots Mouth, Heaven Shall Burn, El Comer Ocho... And the list is getting bigger with time.

[dancarter]

i just pre-order this:

and the vinyl/CD/poster combo pack of this:


i'm getting jittery waiting.

[rynne]

Women - Public Strain

[Mr. Doctor]

Nice pick with the Earth albums dude! Enjoy them!

In the cd store I usually buy stuff from the guy told me they just got a load of cds from someone who just went nutz imo and sold all his stuff. To that person I gotta say THANK YOU!

[Catacombs]

Has anyone received their copy of Take Care, Take Care, Take Care yet?  I thought pre-orders were typically shipped so they arrive on the release day of the record...

[valley_parade]

As appears to more and more be the case, not with vinyl.

Still waiting on the new Red City Radio LP (came out cd/digital in February), and the new Small Brown Bike that came out a two weeks ago.

[Vuk]

This Will Destroy You - Tunnel Blanket

The limited preorder package is amazing.

Beau Navire - Life Moves
The Appleseed Cast - The Middle States

[smack that isaiah]

Among a few other punk things, I finally got around to getting:

Last Light's S/T 7"

cause kiss of death records is having a birthday sale (20% off an order of $20+ w/ the discount code HappyBday20)

[Lupercal]

Live ORL Group album "You're Welcome". Every release makes me realise why Omar's blend of psychadelic, experimental rock is just wonderful on the ears.



Best $1 you could hope to spend at Joyful Noise. An EP made in an abandoned church, I think. Never listened to Hermit Thrushes before, but they seem pretty tight. Love the percussion.

[Lupercal]

Yeah so more Omar. Dirt cheap and immersive & thrilling. Ximena Sariñana has an amazing voice. Female fronted jazz/prog/fusion? Incredible.

[Catacombs]

Has anyone received their copy of Take Care, Take Care, Take Care yet?  I thought pre-orders were typically shipped so they arrive on the release day of the record...

(I finally got this a couple weeks ago so this is late I know but) this is a beautifully done release.  I especially like the caramel colored second disc with the floor board etching on the backside.

[valley_parade]

Jon Snodgrass & Friends - Tri-State Record

On red + white, limited to 95. Wasn't interested until I saw Brandon from Teenage Bottlerocket and Chris Wollard were involved.


edit: I got this over the weekend. It is NOT half and half as I was expecting. Clear vinyl, with red/white/black splatter. One of the coolest records I've ever seen. And "Campaign Song '93" with Chris Wollard and the Ship Thieves backing is AWESOME.

[valley_parade]

Trying to decide here..

I've got an email from No Idea about a new O Pioneers!!!/Andrew Jackson Jihad split 9". I really, REALLY like O Pioneers, but couldn't care less about AJJ. Worth the $7? The digital download comes with like 20 bonus live tracks.

[valley_parade]

The Dopamines/Dear Landlord split, the Dopamines/Dear Landlord split, annnnnnnnnnnnnnd the Dopamines/Dear Landlord split.

The Dopamines are one of my favorite bands, had to pick up all three color variants.

edit: This is a pic from P&P..haven't got mine just yet:

[Mr. Doctor]

One of the record stores wanted to empty their store because it had too much old stuff just being there so everything went 50% off. Awesome.

Minsk - With Echoes In The Movement Of Stone


Godflesh - Hymns


Totenmond - TonbergUrtod


Ulcerate The Destroyers Of All


Muse - Origin Of Symmetry


Rammstein - Lichtspielhaus


Opeth - The Roundhouse Tapes (2 CD + DVD)

[Koremora]
