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 ups


1. Moving Mountains- "Waves"-Triple Crown Records-White/???
2. Quicksand- "Slip"- Shop Radio Cast-Green/Yellow Swirl 180 Gram/500- 2nd press
3. Hot Rod Circuit- If Its Cool With You,Its Cool With Me- Big Wheel Recreation- Clear Green/???
4. Elliott- If They Do 7"- Initial Records- White/400
5. Elliott- Will You 7"- Revelation Records- Clear Pink/219

Pretty pleased with all these pick ups! HRC is an awesome nostalgic release for me. One of the first CDs I learned how to drum to when I was 16. Haven't spun it much in a long time but now that I own it on vinyl it is sure to get more play.

For those who may not be aware, Shop Radio Cast/Dine Alone Records took it upon themselves to RE-release Quicksands "Slip" on vynil. Not so bizarre timing considering the reunion shows recently. Single LP, gatefold jacket. First press from SRC is already sold out(2 colors first press) and I am not sure about Dine Alone(Black vinyl only). Dont worry though, a second press is already due soon from SRC. So get over there if you have not yet.

Moving Mountains is a release I decided too late that I would like to own it on vynil, so I missed it! One of the "new" bands out there that I acutally like(not to mention its a Casket Lottery LP title). Very little info on this release. Triple Crown releases tend to be super vague. After looking and looking for a version priced right, I now have it!

Words cannot express how stoked I am to FINALLY have these Elliott 7" inches. Its been a long wait and search. After losing a couple along away due to a price tag I couldnt break myself to pay 2 of the 3 I need to polish off the Elliott collection are now in my possession. Very fair price for "if they do" from a nice dude in VA who was selling some excellent stuff who said "I'll probably regret it later" and I won "will you" from a euro who titled the auction wrong, Needless to say that was a total steal, I actually felt a little bad.

Anyone coming across this, if you have Elliotts "in transit" 7" on either white or clear, contact me, somehow.
