Smh.

punk_sk (June 18, 2009)

this could be cool and this could be bad. My bets on bad.

MN_punkmaster-skaman (June 18, 2009)

Good god.... why all the stories today that I don't give a shit about? There's been only two newsworthy in my book. 2/14.... bad org! Baaaad org.

Yeah I hate it when a large (relatively) news site doesn't cater to my exact tastes.

hoxnots (June 18, 2009)

Not a big Guitar Hero/Rock Band fan, but I guess "Deadbolt" would be pretty fun to play. Cool to see ADTR up there too.

My girlfriend just bought me a record player for my birthday...Anyone got some suggestions on good vinyl to start with?

Avoid that country punk shit from Vinyl Collective, you'll regret paying for it when you grow out of the phase.

TrueBeliever (June 18, 2009)

Says the teenager...

baldsteve (June 18, 2009)

Exactly. I don't go through phases

MN_punkmaster-skaman (June 18, 2009)

Wrong!!

TheRedDeath (June 18, 2009)

I wouldn't mind a nice Frank Turner or Andrew Jackson Jihad record...even if its a phase haha

eazyd2 (June 18, 2009)

havent you heard? vinyl isnt cool anymore. its all about the fuckin cassettes bitch

655321 (June 18, 2009)

shoo hipster! go on - get outta here!

TheRedDeath (June 18, 2009)

damn, just threw away my boombox to make room for the record player...

655321 (June 18, 2009)

I would pick up eps and such that never got released on other media.

Ramones discography.

acris (June 18, 2009)

I hate myself

Blackjaw_x (June 18, 2009)

Can't blame you...

acris (June 18, 2009)

it's a screamo band, you asshole.

Blackjaw_x (June 18, 2009)

I know and like the band, it was a joke, you... bumhole.

acris (June 18, 2009)

I hate myself was amazing and one of the few screamo bands worth anyone's time. Go away.

Blackjaw_x (June 18, 2009)

Why do I still have to go away? I agree with you. :(

acris (June 18, 2009)

you said, and like the band, it was a joke, calling I hate myself a joke and thus pretty much saying you dislike their music

Blackjaw_x (June 18, 2009)

Haha no I said "I know and like the band". I guess I should have punctuated differently; perhaps "I know and like the band; it was a joke, you... bumhole" would have worked better.

RRK (June 18, 2009)

I usually only buy vinyl if it has interesting/creative/beautiful packaging. The Thursday/Envy split is far and away my favorite. My next favorite is Murder by Death's In Bocca al Lupo.

baldsteve (June 18, 2009)

The Rip Offs "got a record"
Sicko "chef boy r u dumb"
Screeching Weasel "anthem for a new tomorrow"
Jawbreaker "24 hour revenge therapy"

I enjoy those all on lp more than I do in any other format.

MN_punkmaster-skaman (June 18, 2009)

Whatever bands you listen to... DUH!!

TheRedDeath (June 18, 2009)

well yah obviously, but i'm open to other suggestions of albums that sound better/have worthwhile packaging in vinyl form.

MN_punkmaster-skaman (June 18, 2009)

It's always cool to find 1st pressings in used vinyl sections in stores or used ones. Sometimes you'll find something that you can't get on CD.

baldsteve (June 18, 2009)

The first 2 Riverdales records came with giant posters.

Don't know how to party by The Bosstones is a plaid picture disc

Propagandhi/ I-Spy split

Lots of fun vinyl

Blackjaw_x (June 18, 2009)

14theroad, why don't you like Therefore I Am? I normally wouldn't touch the bands they are associated with with a 50 mile pole, but this new album of theirs is quite good. I give them the benefit of the doubt and figure they listen to HWM and stuff, or at least some of the members must. There's more legitimate post-hardcore going on than nu-metal or nu-emo rock bullshit. I actually think the perfect description of them is a hardcore Living With Lions, though I doubt they've heard LWL. But what I've heard from their older stuff does suck terribly.

is this good or bad?

Blackjaw_x (June 18, 2009)

Very, very bad. Why even ask? That's the worst decision in a while...

SloaneDaley (June 18, 2009)

wow... so you don't have the right to prove your innocence? that is awful, glad I'm not American.

punk_sk (June 18, 2009)

hit, i'd imagine

thatsyouth (June 18, 2009)

miss

Blackjaw_x (June 18, 2009)

I actually can't decide... post-apocalyptic usually screams "yes" (in this case, "hit") for me, but this one looks kind of... bland? Awkward? I don't know.

MN_punkmaster-skaman (June 18, 2009)

Hit because it was an amazing novel by Cormac McCarty (No Country For Old Men & Blood Meridian), it's driected by John Hillcoat (The Proposition), music by Nick Cave and Warren Ellis, and it stars Viggo Mortensen, Robert Duvall, Guy Pearce, and Charlize Theron.

TrueBeliever (June 18, 2009)

Hit. The book was great.

The only problem I have with this is that (at least based from that trailer) they make it seem like the mother joins them on the trip through the road. When in the book she's just part of the flashbacks.

MN_punkmaster-skaman (June 18, 2009)

I think it's just the trailer, not the movie.

punk_sk (June 18, 2009)

did you see her walking around with a coat on? i don't think so. she's only in the flashbacks.

TrueBeliever (June 18, 2009)

The part that has her saying "They're going to catch up to us, and they're going to kill us" threw me off though. May have been a part in the book, it's been a while since I've read it. Still looking forward to this though.

punk_sk (June 18, 2009)

still flashback

BluthCo (June 18, 2009)

If its even somewhat similar to the book, then hit.

2Kings (June 18, 2009)

kinda reminds me of the walking dead

thatsyouth (June 18, 2009)

Bad Religion and Thrice is the only way I'd ever enjoy playing these sort of games. Playing To Awake and Avenge The Dead or Modern Man would be amazing.

mill83 (June 18, 2009)

Agreed. Thrice would be fun to play.

eazyd2 (June 18, 2009)

haha i bet you couldnt even play on hard you fuckin fag. i would smash you i practice 6 hours a day. stick to you faggy classical 'real' guitar you wanker.

thatsyouth (June 18, 2009)

6 hours day, mate? Crikey!

CBSrocksteady (June 18, 2009)

does anyone play Rock Band? am i supposed to be interested in this being that I am a musician? because I find no appeal in playing fake digital instruments whatsoever. cue me in if i'm missing out.

4+ Replies

TrueBeliever (June 18, 2009)

Yeah, kind of like how I won't play fake digital sports game. Such a waste of time when I could easily just play in the NBA, NFL, or MLB whenever I want. Kids these days and their fun are lame...

TheRedDeath (June 18, 2009)

best response to this argument i've heard!

CBSrocksteady (June 18, 2009)

I dont know if i'm interpreting this correct. All it led me to was the thought that playing music professionally and playing sports professionally are on two completely different levels.

I'm not even that big of a gamer period, but I have had a hell of a lot more fun playing Madden then I have Rock Band or Guitar Hero.

I'm just wondering. these games are insanely popular and I just can't figure out why.

madomen (June 18, 2009)

because it gives the illusion of talent

kvzuky (June 18, 2009)

They are definitely not made to be played alone.

But after a couple of beers with friends its pretty fun.

FatTony (June 18, 2009)

Not everyone has the inclination to pick up a real instrument. Besides, I'd rather play Rock Band with my friends while drunk than listen to that one asshole at every party that insists on busting out the acoustic guitar and fuck around on it.

scorpiondeathlock (June 18, 2009)

anyone else like the dirty projectors album?

Yellow_card (June 18, 2009)

There seems to be one band missing, a band that in the past left blood, sweat and tears on many Warped Stages and left smiles, tears of joy and memories on those that saw them. That band would be Yellowcard. Yellowcard's last full length was entitled Paper Walls and came out on July 17th, 2007, Yellowcard's new EP was just unleased from Capital Records and is called Deep Cuts and came out this past Tuesday June 16th, 2009. Give it a whirl!

My little brother has Rock Band 2, so I might check out the Bad Religion track....I always love pretending I'm Greg...with the cool hand gestures during songs and everything. Just because I'm 26 doesn't mean I can't be a goofball sometimes hahaha
