Let's Talk Music

So I decided that since I started this thing intending for it to be a blog mainly about music and I never really blog about music that today I will blog about music(Yay!). So in recent news Brenden leaked the title to the new Lawrence Arms 7" out sometime in the near future on his blog(if you don't read it GO CHECK IT OUT!!!!!! badsandwichchronicles.blogspot.com) The title is "Buttsweat and Tears". Brilliant right? Well I will be awaiting the release of that record. They are also coming out to Hollywood to play the Troubadour(our fav place to see 'em) in Nov. That should be fun. I'm gonna try to get tix soon before they run out. What else???............Oh yeah, I went into Amoeba Music today for the first time in a few months and they rearranged the set up. It's cool though now the Cd's and Lp's aren't mashed together. I seen a couple things I need to pick up but could wait cause they'll be there next time I go or are readily available online. But there was one golden nugget I found today-a Tiger Army record. The second album limited to only 1300 copies on Moon-Yellow Vinyl. Tiger Army II: Power Of Moonlite- a good album in great condition(sealed[that's right never been opened!!!]). Now here is the tricky part it was the most expensive record I have ever bought to date. But I couldn't let it slip away! I have too many times not picked up a record cause I thought it was too expensive or that it might be there next time when I have more $$ but it never is. And most times I never see it again or it is at some outrageous price on ebay that is only gonna get higher if anybody else sees it(which they will). So I picked it up this time. $50-fifty bones-that's what I spent on one record. Now there are a lot or record collectors that might think "Oh dude that's nothing!" But that's a lot of cheese for me my friends. But it was worth every hard earned penny let me tell you. There is nothing like the smell of opening a new sealed vinyl. And this record is from 2001 so it's been ageing for eight years. Getting ripe for me to pick. It's nice to be the first person to put a needle to this record eight years later! So the other records will have to wait until next time I make it to Amoeba(oh well). How was that? Was that cool? I did it a blog about music! Ya!
