V/A - 2003 Teenbeat Sampler CD

Some of you might be wondering where in the hell I have gone. The answer is simple. Nowhere. I have tried uploading this album a couple of times and it seems to take forever. Almost 3 hours! Maybe my internet just sucks. Fuck it.

I got this release about a year ago when I purchased a large CD lot (about 150 CD's) off of the Knock Knock Records pop punk board. It was mostly pop punk and I was hesitant to give this a listen.

And for some reason, I found it really good. In an odd "I have to listen to this while driving RT 15 at night" sorta way. Its mostly indie / electronic stuff. Is there a term to describe this type of music? Probably. I just havent figured it out yet.

Released on Teenbeat Records in 2003. The catalog # is 341. It's a little different than most of my other entries, but I hope you give it a listen.

5 Cent Deposit - Focus On The Negative CD

ARTIST: 5 Cent Deposit
TITLE: Focus on the Negative
LABEL: Radical Records
CATALOG: RAD 70043-2
YEAR: 2005
GENRE: Pop Punk / Power Pop

If you couldn't tell by now, I've been on a 5 Cent Deposit kick as of late. And if your getting tired of the 5 Cent Deposit entries, don't worry. This is the last one.

This was their last releases that I know of. I also think they are still around and I wish they would release some more stuff. Maybe a 7"! If you listened to their prior releases, you can tell that there is a lot more "maturity" (god I hate that word) in this release. Its still great, and fast and full of melody. But the lyrics are more serious, and the song writing is better. So check it out!

Also, you can get this on Amazon and eBay pretty cheap. Ebay has copies for $1.00

TRACK LISTING:
1. Still Standin'
2. Dec. 12th
3. Me Likey
4. In Your Arms
5. Thanks...
6. 11729
7. Nadine
8. Another Song About A Girl
9. Nowhere X Nowhere
10. Burn
11. Paper Cups
12. Apology
13. Hey Me

5 Cent Deposit - Your Mother Likes Us When We're Drunk CD

ARTIST: 5 Cent Deposit
TITLE: Your Mother Likes Us When We're Drunk
LABEL: Vu Du Records
YEAR: 1999
CATALOG: 091399
GENRE: Pop Punk / Melodic Punk
PRESSING INFO: This is the first pressing with 24 tracks and 3 extra tracks. Tank records re-released this album in 2000 with only 16 tracks.

I'm back everybody! My music collection is almost organized, and I have a ton of music to add to the blog. I will do my best to update this a few times a week. But with a new house comes plenty of new responsibilities. Like mowing, and cleaning and all that crap. I honestly forgot what releases I have posted on this blog since it started. So I may start deleting old post and starting over. Unless there is a big outcry (check the Budget - Eepee entry) then I will keep it.

I first heard about 5 Cent Deposit on an old comp called "A Tribute To Your Mom" and thought it was pretty good. So I searched out their releases. I ended up buying this from a guy online for $5. Not bad considering its pretty hard to find in the original pressing form.

Here is what the boys from 5 Cent Deposit had to say about this release:
This was our first release that we put out ourselves. We pretty much went into the studio and recorded every single song that we had at the time. This was a very educational experience recording in a "real" studio for the first time. I think we really learned a lot from the sessions of recording this album, especially the horrors of trying to do 24 songs! We let go of our original bass player during the recording of this record, and along with our engineer Mike (who would soon become our bassists for a short lived time), we all platooned to finish up the bass tracks. There are fond memories from this recording session. Ah the joys of being young and musically ignorant....."yeah sure, that part sounds fine, next!"

Lots of good pop punk / melodic punk mix here. So download it.

no I am not dead!!!

I'm not dead. I promise. In fact I miss doing this blog. I have way too many rare pop punk gems to share with the world to just give up. I recently just moved and everything is still packed away in boxes. Also, I do not have internet at my new place either. So updating this blog will probably take another couple of weeks. So please dont worry, and please dont think I'm done. I shall return!
