The Casket Lottery Collection.

So after many years in total, including an 8 year break, in 2012 I've finally completed my Casket Lottery Collection. I am pretty sure I have everything. All first press and besides whacky 7 inch pressing numbers, rarest color.



From top going right
1. The Casket Lottery/Small Brown Bike 10"- Second Nature- Clear/500
2. The Casket Lottery- Possiblies And Maybes Double LP- Second Nature/Status- White/495
3. The Casket Lottery- Survival Is For Cowards- Second Nature- Light Orange/100
4. The Casket Lottery- Choose Bronze- Second Nature- White/110
5. The Casket Lottery- Moving Mountains- Second Natue- Clear/white swirl/100
6. The Casket Lottery- Smoke And Mirrors- Second Nature- Clear/picture disc/520
7. The Casket Lottery/Reflector 7"- Undecided Records- black/
8. The Casket Lottery/Reflector 7"- unknown- black/50 (Casket Lottery/Reflector "tour" version)
9. The Casket Lottery- Lost At Sea 7"- status- brown/white marble/250
10. The Casket Lottery/Hot Water Music 7"- Second Nature- Pink/253
11. The Casket Lottery/Waxwing 7"- Second Nature- Purple/211 (numbered #1369, no idea to the significance of the numbering. Ive seen copies un-numbered but have seen another purple copy with numbering. Myabe its just the purples? I asked Dan Second Nature if he knew of any tour/show versions and he himself could not remember or did not know)

Now that The Casket Lottery are a band again, I will now have to add another LP and 7" when those are released!

(None of this is for sale!)

I NEED FUEL!

Soooo, while perusing around on the old interwebs I came across this. Yes, you would be correct to say that it is a coffee mug, cause thats what it is, but its not your typical piece of ceramics meant for holding your morning brew.

IT'S A HOT WATER MUSIC MUG DUDE!

So, now I can say that I, Matthew Richard Tellier, has his OWN coffee mug. I use mugs daily, but now this one is MINE. It will be only used by ME and if not, I will pour whatever hot beverage is contained within this mug onto them. So back off!

Now I understand that it might be a bit frivolous to make such an event out of such and object cause its a friggin mug but this mug, for the time being until I acquire the other necessary attributes, is my manly possession. What is a Dad without HIS chair? What is a Grandfather without his cardigan, slippers and probably also, chair? Even an old dog without whatever it is hes been laying on for all those years...

So for the eager young gentleman that I so happen to be, whos ready to wake up and give the world a good ol fashioned ass kicking, this is the best and most relevant symbol that I can think of.
