Mental & Dirty

sooooo! today was a pretty damn good mailday!
as you can see i got 2 recs and a cd but not pictured are the bits of merch that arrived as well
got a signs of hope tshirt baseball shirt and hoodie for half price in there 5 year sald so that plus out strong pound means i paid about £20 for all 3 with postage!! woooooo
as a bonus they threw in the CD pictured (61/100) it was this i was most pleased about out of everything i got today :D
i have signs of hope's full length ( have for a while ..infact i have a almost complete record collection)
however this cd hasnt been pressed yet (SOH get on it !!!) so im dead chuffed to have the tracks :D since i refuse to buy cds anymore

also pictured are the records that i got in replacement for the first step record i recieved broken
dead chuffed with theses as well!
first up is:
Mental - Demo 2 - six feet under - blue/red swirl /358?
the question mark is there because
it says that its red and blue on the sleeve however there is no red and blue listed on the SFU website hmm which leads me to believe that it is the blue and purple
dose it look purple to you?

under that is the new Dirty money split on yellow :) this is out of 320 and looks very nice cant wait to hear it

peace out!

the first break

BOO so i made an order form Dead and gone about a month ago and it never arrived so i emailed ian at D&G and he resent my order arrived really quickly and i couldnt be happier!!! :D

that was until ei opened and checked the last record in the package .. my first step LP

as you can see it looks like my postie got the munchies and took a huge bite from it haha
now ian is out of stock :<
however this record has a silver lining and ian said that he would send me eithe r2 7" or a lp as a replacement
so being a tit i somehow convinced myself that he brought out the outbreak euro press of you make us sick and asked him for a test press
that was burial records not D&G of coarse this leaves me feeling like a tit!
so i remmeber what i was supposed to ask him for (betrayed Addiction euro press test press)
but he hasnt got that either :<

Better Than My Eyes

today i got a neat little package from a record buddy in Canada!
i prevously bought a tear it up screenprinted lp off him and betrayeds substance 1st press white which took a age to arrive because i insisted on it being sent recorded which took 3 months haha

when i bought the other records off Ben i also paid for this in my eyes demo but he had left it at his parents so he said he would post it my way at a later date
as a reward for being patient he threw in a better than a thousand pic disc! i didnt know these existed until i saw it, a very very nice surprise :D

2 great records from a great guy!



below is a pic of my new tattoo :)
done yesterday by my tattoo mate for free
since i have been his main practice slab since he began

A New Hope

So here is a picture of my Signs of hope collection i recently sent thispicture to the band and i was surprised to findout i have a more complete colletion than the band haha

Signs Of Hope are a great band bringing back the 90's to the modern day
i can only help that they bring out more records

i only need to hunt down 2 more records for a complete collection

one is out of 2 and the other is the test press for the 2003 demo that was never released officially and only 8 tests exist

BLOODY MURDER!!!

need i say any more!
such an amazing band !!

i heard theses dudes were really good live

tonight i went to the best show my small shitty little town has ever seen!!!
The Legacy
Gold Kids
Ruiner
Counting The Days

fucking ace!!!!!!

so as soon as i got there i picked up a copy of ruiners new lp (i heard these dudes are assholes) so i wouldnt have to preorder it from bridge nine thursday
got the black /500
there was a white out of something like 700 and a euro tour cover which i wanted but wasnt willing to drop £20 because they refused to sell it without the cd
solid lp from a solid band

after watching counting the days i decided that i needed there lp and for a fiver its a fucking bargin!
mine was the black with blue swirl /300 with the euro tour 08 cover 45/100
funny cover, i think its taking the piss out of a bruce springsteen cover or something.
pretty pissed because i got the 300 the same as my mate aaron when his brother Jamie got the splatter /150
lucky git

also picked up the euro tour cover of the counting the days/hollywood split 89/100 :)

good haul from a better gig!!

the first verse show

Nice little post day today!
some ebay bargins

first up is Horror Shows the holiday ep
great little 7" that rarely comes up on ebay over here
the dude i got this off was selling this one and it on red
i managed to snap up the Clear /500 for £1.70 whilst the red /1000 went for £6.50 bit bizzare but cool for me.

second up is The first steps Connection EP £3 of ebay
this is the second press and isnt anything special but i needed it and it was cheap so i snapped it up! it comes on a nice clear blue and its a welcome addition!

finaly something i kicked myself over and over again for not getting as soon as it came out but here it is the second press of Verse Aggression on grey :) fantastic record from a fantastic band :D

in other news Bridge nine are sending me another copy of outbreaks failure on red to replace the black they sent me by mistake
so if anyone needs failure on black then just give me a message and we will work something out

Patience is a Virtue

HUZZAH!!!!
finally my umm "patience" pays off haha
one Bridge 9 order just got dropped off :)
it contained the following:
*Ceremony - Still Nothing Moves You - B9 - White /1500

*Crime In Stereo - Troubled Stateside - B9 - Purple /200
*Energy - Race The Sun EP - B9 - Purple /700

*Outbreak - "Failure" - B9 - Red /1000
*Sworn In - "s/t" - B9 - black/clear /420

Energy Fancy logo shirt
Verse Blood Rig Shirt
Shark Attack Blood In The Water Shirt

and a tit load of stickers and such as you can see below!

i am very pleased with this order mainly because i had heard of people getting there order and it being very warped or damaged
to prevent this i added a note with my order asking b9 mailorder crew to pad out my order as much as possible :D
to my surprise my request was noted and my order was padded out with not 1 not 2 but 4 card strengthners :D nothing warped everything fantastic condition

thats not to say there were no problems with this order
when i made the order i orderd the sworn in 2 colours but got an email saying that one of the colours was out of stock, boo but no matter at least i have it :)
then this is what annoyed me most i orderd Outbreaks Failure on red, but got sent it on black. this wouldnt normaly bother me because they sent the rarer first press of the record.
however because i own this record on every other colour ( due to my OB collection) this botherd me greatly i was excited to finally have a pretty much complete collection ( besides tests and a posi numbers edition)
so i have an extra copy either for trade for the red depending on what b9 say when they email me

so thats my moaning done
now i was hoping that B9 would release the reason for this order with the LP thats out on the 30th but no matter

Energy EP :)
this is a great little release from a great new band :D

its basicly one old song, one new and one cover ( which wont be on the LP)
came witha digital download so i have been rocking out at work to these on my iphone :D
comes on stylish black/300 and purple/700
i have 2 of the black if anyone wants to trade

Along with the energy ep i picked up some records that i have been waiting to get my mitts on for sometime now

thats all i feel like typing at the mo :P

drought

so its raining outside but i still havnt recieved anthing new in about a week
beginning to tweek hahah
lots of stuff on its way one i think is held up by customs :<
and the other stuff has no excuse!

Break Down the Walls

today was a good day for post!
dispite not getting my dead and gone order like i was expecting i recieved a one up.
earlier in the the week i was watching this record expecting it to rocket as it allways has when i have watched it previously, however to my surprise the record stayed at its £2 starting price! so i snapped it up!
Youth Of Today, Break down the walls!
easily one of the best records i now own !
just a lil bit of info on its pressing etc before i get down to it

from what i can figure out it is either the 1988 2nd press or the 2001 final press i do believe that it is the 2nd press as it came with a 1993 mail order cataloug (3rd press wasnt until 1997) which is very nice indeed ( makes me wish i bought it new so i could have orderd everything else off the list)
the matrix says the usual "rev 8", its number and has "RE 1" which i hope means its the first reissue.

I first heard this album when i was just getting out of street punk and into hardcore a good manner of years ago now. Youth Of Today along with Gorrilla Biscuits, Bold and Judge (to name a few) were very infulential in getting me into hardcore and other genres.
Ray of todays vocals seemed so differnt to the usual slack jawed punk i had previously been listening to and i couldnt stop listening i found other bands through this music that mean so much to me. its a surprise that i havnt gotten a copy of this on vinyl before now, its a very positie step towards completing the collection!

in other youth crew news Alfie is now down with the GB crew!

thats my boy!

So It Begins!

so i had this idea today to make a blog!
so here we go! gonan be talking about records, comics, movies, fathering and shit!
here is my list!
im just starting really only been at it propperly a year or so! still ahve so much stuff i need to get that i have downloaded and now feel guilty about so need to buy on wax!
currently all my records are in record boxes but im in desperate need of a nice shelf unit wityh an even nicer record player on top, my old record player packed up some time ago and instead of saving for a new one i have been downloading an album then buying it, which sucks! until lables started giving digital downloads with records when you order them! i find this fantastic because it saves me the guilt of soulseek!
now if only ebay would incorperate this ;)
enjoy my list!
