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!

V/A - Going Nowhere Fast CD

Here it is! The comp responsible for getting me into one of my favorite bands "Lanemeyer". And Also my first taste and 90's style pop punk. It also house one of my top 5 favorite songs (Easy Target - Stickin' Around).

About 10 years ago, I was in a barn show in Westminster MD with Say Anything (not the wimpy emo band), Innerside Burning (hxc), Element 101, Hangnail and The Undecided. As I was browsing the merch table, I notice 2 compilations. This one, and Happy Christmas volume 2 on BEC recordings. I wasnt sure about this comp, so I bought happy christmas because BEC and Tooth & Nail were putting out some awesome pop punk at the time. The x-mas comp had only 1 good song on it (MxPx - Christmas Day). So I was a bit bummed out. Wishing I would have bought the Going Nowhere Fast compilation just for the MxPx and Element 101 songs.

About a month or so later, Element 101 was playing in Gettysburg PA at a place called The Bombshelter. I saw this comp there (for around $5 I think) so of course I bought it. And so begins my obsession with rare pop punk compilations.

After a few years of listening to this CD non stop, I lost it. I was heartbroken. I feared I would never see this comp again. And it took almost another 3 years of searching high and low before a copy popped up on eBay. I put in a $50 bid right away. I was not going to let this go! I ended up getting it for around $4 or something. And since I bought this (probably in 2002 or 2003) I have yet to see another copy for sale.

OK, enough about me. This was released on Destined To Fail Recordings in 1999. They were out of WA. After years and years of searching, I still have yet to uncover any other information on this label, or some of the bands on it. So download it, and enjoy. Because you will probably never see it again.

The New Found Glory track is an unreleased demo version. Listen to how young they sound!

ALSO, I'm looking for information on the following bands from this comp: Easy Target, Clothesline, Slappy

1. Hangnail - Don't Forget About Tomorrow
