Pick ups


1. Fairweather- "Lusitania"- Enjoy The Ride Records- Clear green & Blue/200 (ETR exclusive)
2. Panic at The Disco- "Pretty Odd"- Fueled By Ramen- Black/2500 (2nd press w/out the bells and whistles)
3. The Honorary Title- "Scream & Light Up The Sky"- Doghouse Records- Black/500
4. Kind Of Like Spitting- "Nothing Makes Sense Without It"- Slowdance Records- Black/???

VERY happy with all of these. Lusitania 10 years later finally sees a vinyl release. Came out great too. My favorite is the C side, the blue splatter looks so cool, has a lot of depth.

Panic at the disco was a impulse save for later buy. Not many(even though tons) people enjoy the band or atleast this record. I think mainly it was cause "a fever you cant sweat out" got re-released and I some how couldn't get a hold of it. So I said "if i cant get the other, i wil get this one". I did spin the record a lot at the time of its release. Some what enjoyable. Side A is pretty consistent, falls off on side B excluding the last song "mad as rabbits". Not sure how long I'll hold onto it.

The Honorary title LP was one I purchased along the Panic at the disco LP. It was also a bit of a whim pick up. I haven't listened to the record in a few years but remember enjoying it at the time despite falling off. Justifiable reason for really grabbing it was remembering the song "far more" was fantastic. Boy am I glad I grabbed it. I'm in love with it now.

Words cannot really express how thrilled I am to have picked up this KOLS release. Saw one go for a bit of money recently and since I am an Ebay fiend and am constantly searching on a daily basis(i know, shocking, right? im sure you had no idea...) I happen to come across this one for a buy it now $10-$13 cheaper than what I had seen another copy go for not even a week ago. Only 1 more release to go and I have all the LP versions of the releases I really enjoy from Ben.(i am choosing to not hunt out 2 others).

The Casket Lottery Complete Collection

In March of last year I had posted what was my "Complete" Casket Lottery Collection. Although at the time that was 99% true. Since then they have put out 3 new releases(one 7", a split 7" & a LP) and I have also picked up an overlooked comp. 7". So as of right now, it is the most up to date and done its going to get! The photo I had posted before kind of sucked and to be honest it feels this one isnt that good either but I have added a bunch more photos with a little more detail. Enjoy!


LPs:
Moving Mountains/Choose Bronze

Survival is For Cowards/Possiblies and Maybes

SBB Split 10"/Smoke and Mirrors/Real Fear

7"/Splits:



Casket Lottery/Reflector Tour 7"

Here is the A/B-Front cover/back cover. Stamped/letterpressed labels

Close up of the labels and back cover tab

Casket Lottery/Waxwing 7"
(no idea to the significance of the numbering on the back of the Waxwing split. I've seen copies un-numbered and have seen another purple copy with numbering. At the time of this post back in March I had thought maybe it was just the purples but I have recently seen a copy on blue that was numbered. I asked Dan Second Nature if he knew of any tour/show versions and he himself could not remember or did not know. If you have any knowledge please comment or message/email me. Id like to update and put it in here if possible.)
