Not Around

i can't believe this blog has spanned 4 years. it was great while it lasted. thanks everyone.

Back

hey sorry, i was gone. i'm back now.

Scanner

hey i got my scanner back up and running so i'll go back and fix the other two posts tomorrow. i got some great posts coming up.

Hey

hey. well i want to start a new blog where i'm not just limited to Punk. it's gonna be about anything. i'll post a link later. so, there will be one more post here and then it's bye for good (although it must already seem that way).

Almost The End

well i've only got one post left and then i'm gone for good. my label will no longer be releasing anything right now because anything i send in the mail, nobody gets for some reason or vice versa. i'm pissed. the only thing that remains good is Whose Line Is It Anyway.

two more posts coming really soon. so many school projects to do at the moment. oh and only one more Imposters tape is left. someone snag it.

Hmm...

well i haven't been around for awhile, i do have some more posts coming soon. honestly i don't know how much longer i'll be doing the site.

Record Store Day 2011

well i went to Toronto for record store day. it was raining but we still went to all the stores. i didn't see any % off deals or anything. but, here is what i picked up anyway. not much but still.

7"s:

The Half Rats

White Wires

The Zips

12"s:

Bored Teenagers #3 Comp

F-Word

Crusaders of Love

The Knickerbockers

Kool and the Gang (the Wild and Peaceful one. i love this record, great funk!)

what did you get?

The Absentees-CD

no this isn't a real post but i can tell you where to get it. i don't have this only because it's on a cd. otherwise i would snap at a vinyl version. anyway, i posted their half-great (including one of my favourite songs of all time "tryin to mess with me") 7" a while ago. i thought the tracks after '79 would be crap, but i was way wrong. all the tracks are really great. there are a couple of tracks near the middle of this cd where they kind of sound metal-ish, but then they start playing this tangy cow-punk type stuff. so yeah this is great. get it at the good blog named, Disorder-Are You Experienced? if you're into buying cds, buy the cd at this site: The Absentees. you know what, it's only $10 postpaid. i might just buy it too. here is a track to listen to:

The Long Beach Police Tried To Murder Me Once Again

Something

don't worry, something coming really soon. and it's great.

KBD

i'm gonna post something new soon enough, but trust me, it will be amazing.

Buy Night Birds New 7"

well i was talking to Brian this morning and he asked me if could put up this message from him. seeing as i've put both their 7"s for download here, i figure it is the least i could do. here is the message:

"After a few delays we will have our new 7", "Midnight Movies" in our hands Feb. 9th so orders will ship late next week. First bunch of orders we'll toss in a button and sticker we made very few of for the new 7"... We also have some new shirts. Check it out here and buy some junk so we can afford to come play your lovely town:"

WWW.DORKROCKCORKROD.COM

yes you might have already pre-ordered the 7" from No Way (i did as well) but if you buy it from them you get button and sticker. the real reason i bought from them was to buy one of their new shirts (they look great) and i thought i might as well buy a 7" too.

Ozone-Walk On 12"

hey, time for some top class funk. i would post the whole record, that is if someone were to request it. but no one probably will so i'll just post up the best track. that being the first and title track entitled Walk On. fantastic funk. i was flipping through the nearest record store and found this. their afros and track titles made it stand out. for example, "This Is Funking Insane." come on, from that it's got to be great. and it is too. it was released in 1980, so it will fit in with lots of stuff posted here. i got a promo copy. identical to the regular press except for the stamp in the bottom corner. well i think i've said enough about a record that probably no one will care about on here. but i love it, so it goes here. nonstop rotation in these parts. funk on!

Nothing

big post coming up. here is a clue, i didn't rip it myself, and it has something to do with Nazis. also boogieing.

Compilation

here is a little compilation i made for myself. i thought i'd up it for all to enjoy. it's all new, mostly powerpop, bands. have at it!

2010

ok let me just say that 2010 had a lot of great releases and they all can't be mentioned here. i know i'm probably missing something, but this is just some of the best 2010 releases off the top of my head.

ok, so first up is the great BRAIN FLANNEL with the best tape release of the year. it was put out by Statuestorytapes. great female/male vocals. their song "Symptom Set" is just amazing! i will post this sometime soon. buy it if you find it. only 100 made and sold out fast.

next is another female fronted band, THE THROWAWAYS. they released a split 7" this year, which i posted. the Spastic Panthers side isn't very good, but the flip side is great punk. just check out the post i did and you'll see what i mean.

now for some great 2010 powerpop. this powerpop is supplied by CRUSADERS OF LOVE. their lp by the name of Never Grow Up has some really catchy tunes. the first 5 songs are golden. it came out on Douchemaster records. buy it.

now for some hardcore punk. NEGATIVE LIFESTYLE released a 7" which i waited forever for. and it was well worth the wait. great all the way through. i posted it so look back at the old posts.

another important release of 2010 was a 7" by the great NIGHT BIRDS. surf/punk and it's pure gold. i posted it too, so check that out. i also posted their new tape release, but i like their first 7" better.

ok you might be thinking who the hell is in that photo above. well it's LADIES. and they released one hell of a 7" on Grave Mistake. short songs, great vocals. i will be posting it soon as well. it must be posted.

and now for the greatest release of 2010. it is by a band called......................

Merry Christmas To All!
