Just a bunch of nerds in a band that live, breathe, and eat music. We'll use this blog to ramble on about music that excites us, shit going on with the band, and first and foremost... our obsession with vinyl.

So here’s my copy of Saetia’s self titled LP. Most of you already know this record so I’ll keep this short: this record rips. Guitar work here is excellent and Billy’s vocals are more dynamic here and he’s not pushing himself way too hard like on the first 7”. This LP comes with a gigantic poster with all the lyrics and artwork. The nice thing about my copy is it came with the CD booklet when I bought it so I don’t have to wrestle with this huge poster every time I want to look at the artwork or read the lyrics.

Declaring War On Nostalgia // The Saddest Landscape
“And I just want to go back to when we didn’t have to drink ourselves to sleep, back to when our dreams didn’t weigh us down, back to when each day didn’t feel like something we just survived.”

Van Johnson was a band from Ottawa, Canada. Van Johnson did a lot of touring, released a split 7” with Kaospilot on Level-Plane, a 7” on Fire Walk With Me, and an LP on Intimate Space. This is a solid contribution and an awesome record. Unfortunately Van Johnson broke up in 2005. RIYL: Raein, Daitro, Off Minor
The first batch made have hand stenciled covers and backs. When Intimate space gets around to making more covers they’ll probably be screened.
The disc is actually a dark maroon, but the smoke is nice and I wanted to show it. My good friend Ryan put this out so if you want to get a copy you can email him: ryanstatler@gmail.com
Unfortunately this is the only Van Johnson video I could find. The audio quality isn’t great, but you’ll get the picture.
