Once More Into The Breach...
S'been awhile, has it not? I blame two things for my absence from the fabulous world of blogging: Netflix, that usurper of time and social life, and my pet project of cataloging all of my records. That, and I'm incredibly lazy when it comes to writing. That being said, I'm most certainly NOT lazy when it comes to compiling a database full of my wonderful, amazing collection of future children surrogates when I'm 55+ years old. I've been working on this since August and just finished it about two weeks ago. I tried to be as thorough as possible (my favorite catch was finding the 1971 Apple disc of Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band in the 1967 Capitol Records outer sleeve! Wacky! But yes, I was that anal.
Other than wasting my time and stuff I went to L.A. to visit this guy in scenic Echo Park. While there I went to Griffith Observatory and was extremely disappointed that I did not have my mountain bike with me. The trails surrounding that place look absolutely motherfucking mouthwatering if you're up for some easy, fast, hard-packed dirt riding. Aside from wishing I had a bike, I also wished that I had more money than I did, as I went to various record shops around town where I made two major purchases.
The first was this little bad boy:
The image is large because it's a large fucking album. And with it remastered, it sounds as huge as it should've sounded way back in '97. It's a four disc LP set with two discs devoted to the actual album, and the other two with demos and live tracks, including a live track of "Like Herod" that blows my mind. Bonus is I'm pretty sure it's out of print, so hooray for me!
Second find was this guy:
Karp hails from the Northwest and features members of The Murder City Devils and Big Business. Sludgy post-hardcore with funny lyrics (love the Joe Walsh reference in "Bacon Industry"). This was their last album and it was a fucking monster. Definitely out of print and a great find. Check it:
Karp - Bacon Industry
Karp - Self Titled LP - Forget the Minions
Uhhhh, not much else to talk about, so here's a bunch of stuff I like:

Video Analogy Of This Blog
I think it may be false, as it implies that this blog was on the rails in the first place.
