Pick Ups

I am going to stop saying "weekly" or even "monthly" pick ups. I am so busy I am behind on listing and cataloging. So with that in mind here are my recent pick ups!


1. Thrice- Major/Minor 2xLP- Vagrant Records- Clear w/ Blue Splatter/4000
2. Taking Back Sunday- Warner Brothers- Black/probably a shit ton
3. A Great Big Pile Of Leaves- Have You Seen My Prefrontal Cortex? 2xLP- Sinking Ships Records- Translucent Red/Translucent Green/500
4. Park- It Won't Snow Where You're Going- Lobster Records- Fire Orange/Black Smoke/250

I am very pleased to finally get a copy of Major/Minor for not a retarded amount of money. Paid a couple bucks over in store price with Free shipping so I feel I really lucked out.

The Pile of Leaves 2xLP is fantastic. Not only cause the music on it is good but cause it was pressed at Pirates Press. I'm not THAT big of a nut to really care about where things are pressed and to be honest this is the first time that I have ever actually took notice. My Appleseed Cast Low Level Owl LPs were also pressed at Pirates Press and the extreme quality in both releases are quite visible and consistent. Theres just something about it, the colors are amazing on both my Appleseed Cast LPs(printed years ago) and the Pile Of Leaves LP(printed recently). The records just come out so clean, fresh, solid, tight, excusing the possible urban slang, you get what I mean? The Red LP is my favorite of the 2xLP, so birght and clear, perfect.

The Park LP is great as well. The vinyl came out really good and so did the artwork. The whole jacket is UV coated so it has that glossy look through out. Which really makes the the orange, yellows and reds in the artwork just pop out and hit you. The Detail is surprisingly wonderful.
