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

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
