OK I just remembered I have this blog and I have been wanting to do more with it. I am going to be doing a mixture of stuff relating to music-- primarily about music (metal/punk).
Today I visited 1-2-3-4-GO! Records in Oakland and I was lucky enough to score a copy of the GISM "Detestation" LP of course this is probably the umpteenth re-release (bootleg) of this classic record but I always find myself getting suckered into it for the packaging. A previous fan club release I had unfortunately had a really muddy production value. But this is a good, clean sounding release with good quality art. Apparently there were only 550 made of this.
I also got the Bayonet 7", which is some pretty good early 80s Finnish punk. I have to say though it kind of burns my ass to pay 10 bucks for a 7" its pretty clear someone spent about a buck fifty making. But thats the "fan club" biz I guess.
A few things I am curious about is why there hasn't been a re-release of The Swankys or some kind of discography. That band is seriously underrated.
