Pick ups

Piebald- "We Are The Only Friends We Have"- Big Wheel Recreaction- Mint Green Marble/???
The Menzingers- "On The Impossible Past"- Epitaph Records- Black/???
Pedro the lion- "Its Hard To Find A Friend"- Jade Tree- Black/??? (2012 reissue/Re-master)
Tigers Jaw- "Self Titled"- Run For Cover Records- starburst/200

Finally got in the Pedro LP. After a mix up at the local shop and havnig re-order it finally arrives! Hence why it wasnt posted with Achilles and Control way back in November.

Ended up picking up the new Menzingers LP at the show a week or so ago. I've been hearing the name and i figured id check them out since they were coming to town with Hot Water Music. Checked it out, didnt dig it. Saw them at the show and really liked it! Turns out what I checked out was their latest acoustic demo LP that was just pressed to vinyl(these demos came as a cassette in a bundle if your ordered the new LP from Epitaph). So low and behold I wasnt surprised that I didnt enjoy it at first, who ever likes acoustic demos?

VERY pleased with Piebald and finally getting the Tigers Jaw LP for a good price.

Pick up/Christmas 2012

Tigers Jaw- "Two Worlds"- Run For Cover Records- Light Blue/400 (1st press)
Polar Bear Club- "Clash Battle Guilt Pride"- Bridge 9- Marbled Gray/Red/1000 (1st press)
Rocky Votolato- "Self-Titled"- Second Nature Recordings- Opaque Yellow/Solid Orange w/ Solid Red Splatter/270 (1st press)
Saves The Day- "In Reverie"- Dreamworks- Blacky vinyl/??? (SEALED, which I opened, DUH)
Quarters Volume Two Comp. 7" w/ The Casket Lottery, etc- Atarms Mechanics- Clear Blue/???

So heres what I got recently. Felt like getting some Polar Bear Club so I have picked up the two recently LPs for a solid price.

I am a very large fan of Rocky Votolato. For some reason I had completely neglected his very first self titled release. Don't even have it in Mp3 format, which I also could not find up for Download anywhere to preview! Saw this up and grabbed it for instore price. How cool the vinyl is was worth the gamble. Have to give it a few more spins.

The Quarters Volume 2 Comp 7" not only gives me the "collection" of having both 1 and 2 BUT IT COMPLETES MY CASKET LOTTERY COLLECTION! This is a HUGE deal! A perk is it also being on clear blue which was not in the auction title at all.

Lastly, this Christmas was a great one. My loving girl friend with the help of a friend resulted in my current possession of the largely saught after "In Reverie". I was taken back as I opened it not believing my own eyes as I read the spine before completely unwrapping it. A true shock and surprise that was not expected. It feels strange to own it. After chalking it up(with many others) to something you've already excepted you will probably just never own. What hurts most is i'm sure she paid a lot for it and for it to come in with a price sticker from Hot Topic on it which read "10.99" stings!
