Don't ever go in business with me. You'll lose.

Last night's show, just like the 3 preceding ones was semi-poorly attended. Who really knows what it is. Perhaps it was propagandhi. They played a $12 / $14 show at the Triple Rock with lesser known bands from their record label G7. I know there were some other shows happening. Anyway, there were enough folks to come out to spare the show the sort of embarrassment of the last few. History definitely came through not only with much needed supplies (paper towels, soap, toilet paper, etc.) for the space but with a bunch of people to see them at the end of the night. The touring bands got a decent cut of the cash. Not too much but there really wasn't a whole lot to go around. Times are tight. The space's number one fan, "Boris Parsley" of the MRMB fame came out to the show and baked 4 pizzas from scratch. Aaaa-mazing! The resulting heat from the oven made the space near unbearable though. I really wonder why the AC in the building isn't working this year. It did last year. Fucking place was like an ice box for last summer's shows. I talked with the space's coordinator, Chris H today for like 10 minutes but completely spaced mentioning the cooling system. Fuck.

Tomorrow night is Loser Life. However there is a massive crust show for free over at Memory Lanes. Massive. Did I mention it's free. I'll be back to give you the low down on that on Tuesday morning.

Jessica and her 3 cats are all moved in. Happy days are in store for all of us. As soon as Rabies can adjust to having some new friends.

Oh yeah, I picked up some records at the VFW hall record show on Saturday.

* Rorschach - Protestant LP $5 to trade. Unfortunately the cover is slightly torn. I hate trying to trade off blemished records. I will likely sell it to Noise now. Bummer. It could've been a rad trade.

* Gang Of Four - Yellow 12" $3. I'd say it's about a VG. I'm going to hang on to this copy and trade off my other copy that I bought at Hymie's years and years ago. Definitely a score.

* The Stone Roses s/t LP - Sealed for $10. Works for me. I always liked that song "I Want To Be Adored". Ever since 9th grade. Still really catchy stuff. In my head allllll day long at work.

* Glass Candy and the Shattered Theatre - Metal Gods 7" $5. Not bad. I picked up on this band way too late. Troubleman was way too hip of a label for me to care about there for about 2 or 3 years. Then once I started ordering it for the store I tuned back in. Still digging around for like all the earlier Glass Candy vinyl.

* Glass Candy - Love on A Plate / Johnny Are You Queer? 7" $5.

Listening to...

Hot New Mexicans - Wah... 7"
Glass Candy MP3's
Ruination s/t 7"
Superchunk - Cool / Fishing 7"
Giant Haystacks - We Are Being Observed LP
Sinaloa - Fathers and Sons LP
American Cheeseburger - demo 7"
Disclose / Framtid 7" - alright it'd been a year since my last Disclose record! Framtid rips too. Why didn't I ever buy their 7" when it was in print?!? WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY? (insert D-beat here....)
