records i bought this week.

I LIKE TO BUY RECORDS. HERE'S WHAT I BOUGHT THIS WEEK. 

Yes, This sweet record is back on INTERPUNK.COM. I just fucking love Noi!se and I collect anything they do. Both singers are so rad and but I especially love Nates snarly and gravel throuted vox on reality tv. this 7" is a split with Gestalts who I havent heard of yet but they must be good if Noise did a split with them and I can't wait to get hear. 

This is amazing! I can't wait to get this in my hands! Matt from Noi!se had the idea to dothis and lots of amazing bands got behind it. Seriously lots of amazing bands here. Noi!se, Toughskins, Harrington Saints, Old Firm Casuals, Roger Merit and the Disasters, Left Alone, Roadside Bombs, Sydney Ducks, Lowerclass Brats, Hounds and Harlots, Bricktop, Street Dogs and a whole lot more!!!! all proceeds to to disabled veterans. amazing music! amazing cause! 

GET THIS GREAT RECORD HERE! SUPPORT. SUPPORT. SUPPORT. 

here's another split, Harrington saints and Slick 46, both bands are so awesome and I cant wait to hear this. It came out a while ago but it was out of print until INTERPUNK.COM found a box of them. when I heard that I got on there straight away to get my copy. Harrington Saints rule, slick 46 rule. this is going to be great. 

anything pirates press records does is amazing and when they do comps like this its a no brainer. this is the 2nd comp like this. the first one came out last year and was 11 bands. 11 dollars and came out 11.11.11. this one is 12 bands and came out 12.12.12. like the first one, lots of amazing bands and comes on a cool colorful vinyl. also contains a new RANCID song! fuck yeah! 

I collect anything THE OLD FIRM CASUALS put out cause their one the best bands out there. here is a sweet comp with other amazing bands. I cant wait to get my hands on it. 

NOI!SE rules. SYDNEY DUCKS rule and theres no doubt in my mind the other bands on this comp rule. stoked to have this in the collection. 

last but not least. i found a 1989 re-issue of Bad Religion "How could Hell be any worse" soo stoked a little dinged up but very good condition overall. was only 10 bucks at AMEOBA RECORDS, SAN FRANCISCO.

my big wheel magazine record review for The Young Idea "War Paint" 7"



i'll be doing alot more reviews soon. so keep an eye out.

the day i met john lydon (aka johnny rotten)

So i heard John Lydon (aka Johnny Rotten) lead singer of the Sex Pistols was going to be at Amoeba Records signing vinyls and cds for his newer project Public Image Limited, who were playing the following day in San Francisco.

I'm honestly not a fan of anything Lydon has done after the Sex Pistols so I wasnt too pushed on going, but having his autograph on the wall was something i thought would be pretty cool, so I went down to Amoeba on Haight street to see what was happening.

When I first got there there was a few around but not really that many and there was a selection of PIL (Public Image Limited) vinyls and cds on a stand. Basically, you had to buy one to get your place in the line and get an autograph.

There was also a note saying he would'nt be signing anything Sex Pistols, I was a little disapointed but it was obvious he was just trying to push his newer band. there was singles and full albums, I picked up the double 12 inch and got my place in the forming line, that actually started to get quite long. I waited for about 25 minutes and while I was in line I heard people saying pictures were permitted. i was happy out.

I got closer to him as the minutes went by, he seemed like a cool guy, was really nice to everyone and laughing and posing for pics. etc. than it was my turn. i gave the lady working there my camera and walked over to his table.

And heres what happend next. He took my vinyl and said thanks for the support etc and than seen my Devil's Brigade hoodie. "Who are they he asked" I told him they were Matt Freeman of Rancid's side project and that they kicked ass. and than this happen. 

John "Oh, Yeah. Rancid. New Yorks alright if you like saxaphones"

Me "That's not a Rancid song"

John "It is mate, I know me history"

Me "I think thats a FEAR song"

John "No it's not mate" 

Me "Ok man, I guess you know more than I do"

John "Cheers man, thanks"

and than I walked away knowing I was right. He was a cool dude and its great to have his autograph, I framed it right next to my Jello Biafra one, but seriously.
