V/A - Springman To The Rescue CD

I know, almost 2 months without an update. So shoot me. Actually please do not. I enjoy life most of the time and wish not to end it so suddenly. Thanks a bunch.

I wasn't going to upload this. I was under the impression it was still in print. However, with a little research it seems as though it is OOP. So here ya go!

Springman Records was one of my favorite labels when I was a teenager. Great comps, great bands and everything was super cheap. In an era when the 90's pop punk sound pretty much died off, Avi over at Springman was still churning out some awesome stuff. If you havent picked up any of the Punk Rock Strike CD's, you really really are doing yourself a disservice.

I honestly have no clue where I got this CD. I do know however I bought it because Day At The Fair was on it. And it also introduced me to Big D & The Kids Table. By the sounds of it, I think the Big D song is possibly a demo version. Released in 2004 on, yep, Springman Records. There was no catalog number that I can see, and I have no idea how many were made.

TRACK LISTING:
1. Shinobu - Not Gonna Happen
2. Groovie Ghoulies - Nowmal (Is A Million Miles Away)
3. The Phenomenauts - Mission
4. Up The Empire - Stars At Noon
5. The Wunder Years - The Lonely Vampires Club
6. Treephort - It Takes Talent To Scream Into A Microphone
7. Big D And The Kids Table - LA X
8. Day At The Fair - The Blame Anxiety
9. Single Man Riot - Run For It
10. The Haints - Ivy Says
11. The Rum Diary - It's Midnight
12. Jason Webley - Icarus
13. Secretions - Long Lonely Road
14. Pain - Adam's Apple

ARTIST: Anti-Anti
TITLE: Hooray For Everything
LABEL: Fast Music
CATALOG #: Fast8009
YEAR: 2003

Here is another great release from Fastmusic. I have a number of their releases and they haven't disappointed yet. I picked this up from eBay a few years ago for I think 3 or 4 dollars. It's some really good skate/pop punk. Sounds like it would come out of the late 90's pop punk scene.

They also have albums titled Port Charlotte Rock City, Slumber Party Massacre (Debut album), a split 7" with Grave Mistake, and a split with Swamp Kids. I'm sure there are others but I don't know of them.

There also seems to be another band with the name Anti-Anti that released an album on Jade Tree, but I do not believe it is the same band.

TRACK LISTING:
1. Long Island Expressway
2. The Good Old Days
3. Englewood Beach
4. I Want You Back
5. It's Gotta Suck To Be A Girl
6. I Live In Florida
7. Jarhead
8. Bubblegum Girl
9. Queen Of The Scene
10. Don't You Know
11. The Last Laugh
12. Forbidden Planet
13. Slumber Party Massacre
14. Sweetest Dream

New Weekend Pick-Ups!

Grab these this weekend at Tom's Music Trade in Red Lion PA. All except the Nena and The Animals. Those are thrift store finds. Hoping to get there next week and drop some dough on the 7" records. Was pretty happy with what I got.

Also I hope to get an upload today! I just have to upload the music and post it!

Forstella Ford - Well Versed In Deception (I've been on a big old school screamo kick lately.)
Nena - 99 Luftballoons (Pretty good power pop / new wavey stuff)
NoFX - White Trash Two Heebs And a Bean (Original pressing on Epitaph. These guys were great before all the political crap)
Pud - I'm The Shark (Awesome gruff punk/pop punk on Recess Records)
The Animals - The Best of The Animals (original gatefold sleeve. Great band, and this is MINT. Not bad for $1.47)
Yaphet Kotto - The Killer Was In The Government Blankets (Awesome screamo stuff on Ebullition)
V/A - Pebbles Vol. 7 (If you like 60's garage, these comps are classic. Not as good as Back From The Grave or Teenage Shutdown, but still worth picking up)
V/A - Swinging From The Trees (Sydney punk comp with The Naked Lunch, Mushroom Planet, The Sweet Ride and more)

Weekend record pick ups!

I really need to update this thing. I have an enormous music collection full of rarities that need to be heard! Anyways I hit up the Princeton Record Exchange for the first time this weekend. Pretty amazing store.

22 Jacks / Mess - Split 7"

ARTIST: 22 Jacks / Mess
TITLE: Split
LABEL: Last Beat Records
CATALOG: None
YEAR: 1997
PRESSING INFO: Only Pressed on clear green vinyl

I picked this up for $1 at Double Decker Records earlier in October during my trip to the Allentown records fair. I had heard 22 jacks before but I have never heard Mess before.

22 Jacks was a sort of super group. With members of The Breeders, Face To Face, Wax, The Adolescents, and Royal Crown Revue. Sounds like a damn fin line-up if you ask me

And Mess is actually Darlington, performing as Mess.

The 22 Jacks song is great, as always. The Mess side is good, but I'm not really a big fan of the song Five-O. Still a nice pop punk/power pop release.

I did some research and it seems this was only pressed on clear green vinyl. Not sure how many were pressed.

TRACK LISTING:

22 Jacks
1. Passport

Mess
1. You're A Drag
2. Five-O

The Assistant / The Scarlet Letter - Split 7"

ARTIST: The Assistant / The Scarlet Letter

TITLE: Split

LABEL: Alone Records

CATALOG: AL-24

YEAR: 2001

PRESSING INFO: Released on clear vinyl, and on black vinyl.

Now it's time for a release for all the screamo fans out there. And not that wimpy whinny shit that plagues the air waves. I'm talking chaotic, fast, poetic, emotional hardcore. And Alone records did it just as good as anybody else.

I picked this up for $3.99 (obviously) at a record store in Philly. Not sure which one though. Probably Repo or something.

The Assistant contribute 1 track to this release. A little over 5 minutes long, but a great screamo track. The Scarlet Letter add a few more. These are more fast hardcore than anything, but are still great.

This was released on black vinyl and on clear vinyl. I am unsure of how many were pressed of each. Also released with a bunch of inserts.

TRACK LISTING:

A) The Assistant - Bubblegum Cigars

B) The Scarlet Letter

1. Fifteen Greasy Tubs Of Ribs & The Leather Wallet Conspiracy

2. A Hollow Threat

3. How Is That Fat Muffin-Assed Bastard?

4. Debacle Sound

5. Footprints In The Sand
