 Picked this guy up the other day... awesome snotty, sarcastic early 80s-style HC like no one really makes anymore. I first got introduced to this on one of those "4 7"s on an LP" bootleg comps that also included Mecht Mensch, Clitboys, and Catatonics. Now I have originals of this and Clitboys (which are probably the weakest of the 4), so I need Mecht Mensch (which I had and traded) and Catatonics! |

One always springs to the top of my head when "scores" come up...
I grew up in Annapolis, MD. As I was getting into punk and shit in high school I always thought there had never been a punk scene in Annapolis (later I would out from Alex Dimatessa that I was... gravely mistaken, but whatever).
I was an avid thrift shopper at the time and being a burgeoning record collector I was flipping through the Barry Manilow LPs and the R&B 45s. The only record that caught my eye was a kinda fucked up 7" that said Moss Icon on the front. I pulled out the liner notes and the lyrics were sad and weird but i could tell this was probably a cool record. I also noticed a reference to an old school and a main throughfare in Annapolis which piqued my interest even further.
I bought the record for .75 and walked home to google the band. Only then did I realize how hard id just scored haha. One of the coolest things I've ever experienced. Learning about a rad band from your punk backwater hometown and scoring their rare record is a cool thing to happen.
This record rips btw. Moss Icon is very hit or miss, but this record is all hits. "I'm back.." is a stomper.

(later I would out from Alex Dimatessa that I was... gravely mistaken, but whatever). ^I see what ya did there lulz.... Dude, but that's fucking awesome. I LOVE Moss Icon. You mean "I'm Back Sleeping or Fucking or Something"? Is that the Greta Garbo 7"? If so, then that's my favorite one.... Damn you. |

 Just picked up the last couple of Delta 5 singles that I needed... I just love this band so much. They had such a great, unique vibe, with the bubbly bass lines of Gang of Four, the kind of stark naivete of the Raincoats and the Slits, and the rhythm section has almost Magazine-like chops... they just sound like no one else in history. This is kind of what I hope that No Chodes will sound like eventually. They released a discography CD on Kill Rock Stars I think... you can find it on Spotify, Rdio, etc. By the way, I still need both of their 12" releases on the off chance anyone is holding. |

So, I went out last night to check out some records this dude had posted on craigslist. They were $5 each but it seemed like there would be some good classic rock stuff. At that price I was worried they'd be trashed, but they were all in GREAT condition... got a copy of Sabotage (my favorite Sabbath LP) that's nicer than the one I have and a few things for the store, but the gem was this guy:  1st press Gun Club Fire of Love on Ruby Records... perfect condition and FIVE FUCKING DOLLARS! |

Ran across Ministry - The Land of Rape and Honey LP at Nice Price. 14 year old me rejoiced inside.
