MINDSET, PEACE in Buffalo, NY

 A couple weeks ago Mindset / Peace and Secret People where playing a gig in Buffalo, NY. thats about a 2 hr drive from Toronto. I got in touch with everyone I thought would be interested in going and everyone had other plans or where going to be out of town, so about 2 days before the show I decided I would take the greyhound down to the gig. I would be the first time since 2005 that I've done a solo mission like this got a show. I have been buds with the Mindset crew for a while now so Igot in touch with a couple them to see if it was possible to be picked up from the bus station. Once I got into town I walked around got a slice of pizza and then got picked up. The venue was at a old funeral home and a couple people lived upstairs. after the show someone who lived there brought us down stairs and gave us a tour of the morgue. There was not a lot to look at other then piles of garbage left from past tenants. It was awesome to go hang out with the guys in Mindset and meet the guys from Peace and Secret People.

First piece of vinyl I picked up was the new Mindset EP collection on gold with a Mindset stamp on the sleeve. Ev was saying they wanted the vinyl to be on Yellow to match the Time and Pressure record release vinyl but this is what they ended up with. I'm not to sure how many of these there are.

 

Another main reason for me to go down is to see Peace. I was a huge TFS fan and this picks up right where they left off. I had to pick up a copy of this for a friend and I pre -ordered  a copy from React! so I had no plans on getting one for myself till I saw it was on Gold /100 how could I pass on this I knew I would be kicking myself later.

 

I also picked up 2 records from Secret People. The one on the right is a Pre- Release version of a split with Sacred Love.

                           
                   

GET THE MOST - MOMENT IN TIME E.P. TEST PRESS

I have never really fancied myself a Get The Most collector but I do enjoy this band a lot. A couple weeks back I saw on my tumblr feed that someone was selling some records on eBay and checked out the link. Almost all the records he was selling where Crucial Response test pressings that he got from helping putting records together as a gift. This was up there with a low buy it now so I snatched it up because I do like this band and why not pick up a test press out of 20 when I don't need to pay what I've seen it go for in the past?

Record Store Day 2012

Well Record Store Day had came and went. When looking at the list this year not to many records really popped out at me but somehow I still came home with a good little haul. The only records I knew about that I was looking for this year was the DEVO live LP. I guess someone found this recording in a box and cleaned it up and decided to put it on vinyl. there are alot of bangers on this! I follow Devo on facebook and they have been updating a ton about this record. I actually went to the store on Friday and bought this along with the Misfits lp so I would not have to deal with the line ups on the actual day.
I dont own a Walk Among Us so I thought what better time to pick this up now that its on colored vinyl? I ended up getting Red out of 1250. I asked for the CFA 7" but they thought they did not get any so I went home.

Saturday rolls around and I'm at home and bored so I jump on my bike and hit up the local punk record store cuz one of my friends is working. I picked up the Poison Idea 7" there. There was no way I could afford to buy an original of this so I was happy to spend the $12 for this (even thou 12 for a new 7" is kinda stupid) after hanging for a bit I decided to walk next store just to see if there was anything I miss and as soon as I walk in one of the owners points my attention to behind the counter I guess they where shipped ONE CFA 7" and he put it behind the counter and out of the eyes of everyone in the shop. Pretty awesome! I really did not think that I was going to get this record. I peek at the shelf and see a Raveonettes 2x7" w/ 4 new songs on it! I had no idea this thing was even coming out. I love this band and these new batch of songs did not let me down!

Grey Matter - 2x7"

I picked this up on ebay about a month ago now. I was just searching for Dischord records stuff and this came up and saw it was from a Local seller and was going for cheap so I picked it up. This is later era Gray Matter and did not know what to expect. I knew the early "rev summer" stuff. They got back together in the early 90's and put out a couple more records. This stuff is not as good as there early stuff but I think I can hang with it.. The layout and cover for this record are spot on thou I love how it looks. 4 songs split between 2 7"s and its on Dischord / wgns. I'm sure you can find this for a bargain and if you do I would recommend picking it up.

GIVE - LP

I was reading Across Your Face Blog post about the GIVE lp and I was reminded that I had a pretty rare version of this record that most people might not even knew existed thus this post.

LOJ played a gig up in Toronto in July 2009 and brought up a couple GIVE records to sell, the record had just came out and actual covers where not ready at the time (i think) so they made up about 20 copies with this photocopied cover with the "give flower" on it and photocopied insert and sold them here. I really did not know much about the band at the time other then it had a couple LOJ guys in the band and since I was friends with them I picked this up. I was sold on this band as soon as I put on the record. As you know they have released 5 7"s since then and the songs are just getting better and better. anyway just thought I would make a little post about this and let the give completist out there know there is another record that might be impossible to search for on eBay.

Hounds Of Hate - No Redemption

I downloaded this record about 2 months ago when I found out my band was playing a show with HOH and wanted to check em out, I was not really sold on the band at first until I saw them live. They killed it and had the energy that I was looking for. I picked up the 7" from the band and have played it a couple times since then great songs good band.
