MBFUCKINGD.
ok i am breaking the rules here a little, sometimes it is called for, and post about a record i am very excited about that is still in the preorder stages.
anyone who knows me can attest to how much i dig murder by death, there are an amazing band who have consistently put out great records for nearly a decade, they simply have not let me down, live they kill it, and from my end every time i...

GUEST NERD: Barrie from Generic Insight Radio
Really excited to have our first guest for the blog… and even more excited that it’s our good buddy Barrie Cohn of Generic Insight Radio fame. Barrie is someone we’ve become friends with through her - and her City Lights partner in crime James - graciously putting TSL on some of the many great shows they do in NYC . If you grew up on the northeast, chances are high...
I'll Sleep When You're Dead
Yeah so we’ve been talking about making a music/vinyl blog for a bit, but between school, our women, jobs, and other shit with the band, it’s hard to find the time to do much of anything else these days. But, at the end of the day, we always find time to ramble on about the music we love and the records we’re hunting. So, we wanted to create a forum to geek out and talk about,...

Saddest Landscape/Pianos Become the Teeth Split
Ryan Gosling aka Beardo showing off the rekid shortly after waking up
Anyone who follows our band knows that Pianos Become the Teeth means a great deal to us. When we first got back together, people kept telling me I needed to check them out since stylistically, they were similar to us. It was love at first listen for me, and after excitedly annoying Andy about them until he checked em out,...

Baroness: First & Second
Not much to say on this one besides the fact that Baroness rules. While I definitely dig their proggier material of late, first and second hold a special place in my heart, and I was stoked to finally be able to grab both of them on wax:
I actually had the original version of second prior to grabbing this repress from Hyperrealist last week: *random story about which I’m sure you...

You Gave Your Love To Me Softly
So, there’s this old belief that to write a good record you have to be this angsty, brooding, self loathing artist. As much as no one wants to play into that stereotype Rivers Cuomo played into it so well back in 1996 that Weezer’s sophomore effort flopped so hard that they stopped being a band for five years.
Pinkerton was recently reissued in a 4xLP set including the re-mastered LP,...
spin the black circle.
i’m diving in. we are obsessed. i often joke that a 12 step is needed for our vinyl needs, and i may be the worse offender. it is like a search for my missing parts, i hold them akin to the way people hold a shell to their ear to imagine the ocean washing over them, in that spirit here is my first post.
i am a sucker for a box set (and discographies but that is another post), this time it...
The Flatliners- Cavalcade
Finally picked up a record that’s easily in my top 5 of 2010. Not sure exactly how or what first turned me on to them/this record (they’ve apparently been around for a few years now and have toyed around with a few different musical styles. yes, ska). Regardless, this album is a beast of a technical punk rock record. Sonically, they take the best elements of the 90’s “Fat...
