The Beer and Vinyl Thread

Some Rye and a little tribe.

Cheers

Just to get it out of the way - drinking cheap ass delicious SN hop bullet all night...

Now for the good stuff....

Title track so good:

Shannon and the Clams are dope.

This album is likely my all time favorite crate digging find.

It can be super difficult to find sludgy or slightly obscure west coast punk in New York - and Generic Flipper was always one of my all time wants.

So while thumbing through the new wave section at A1 in the East Village about a decade ago, I stumbled across this ideal original press gem. This sludgy beauty came complete with a beer stained cover (which is really apropos of the music), multiple price stickers starting at $1, and a lyric insert.

I'm not sure why the album needed a lyric sheet when the entirety of the lyrics to the classic Sex Bomb are:

She's a sex bomb
My baby - yeah

Now I just can’t stop

Still drinking rye. 21 years ago we lost the greatest rapper of all time IMHO

No beer yet but couldn’t wait any longer to listen to this pickup. Maybe my favorite punk sellout record ever, ironically reissued on Epitaph and not Atlantic. Grey marble wax doesn’t show up in the pic.

Maybe my favorite punk sellout record ever

A good choice. Jawbreaker's Dear You and Jawbox's S/T are also strong contenders.

Another reissue from yesterday’s new releases.

When your 5yo and 3yo accompany you to the record store.

For those who care, it’s that goofy David Hasselhoff song from the credits of GotG2. Pretty slick design but way overpriced. A leftover record store day exclusive from last year.

New Young Fathers on blue vinyl. Can’t figure out if I love or hate the cover. Guess I’ll settle for off putting?

 

[drbenzo1]

This beer is not worthy of Fugazi

[kbuzz1]

Wicked weed, I know. But have been curious about this beer for a while. Not a ton of barrel, but pretty good otherwise.

 

[ripps1]

Pinot Grigio and more tribe

 

[kbuzz1]

Midnight Marauders has to be my fave tribe album

It’s a great album. Low end is still my favorite one.

 

[kbuzz1]

This was the other album that the kids wanted me to buy (shrug, I guess colorful?). Swelling pride being able to say that daddy already had this album. “Bought it months ago”.

 

[kbuzz1]

Quoting myself cause holy **** is this album legit. All of it. Get in this. They may have figured it all out with this one. Will be repeated repeatedly.

Those sheetz are durrrrrtaaaay

Goat band. You have inspired me:

“Well the lights, and the sound, and the rhythm, and the noise hit my body like 1000 dances”

Back when I was in the game I used to be tasked with picking up subterranean orders from their headquarters. Around 2000-2004 that place was THEE goldmine. Tupper had no way to update his catalog and there was uncountable treasures stuffed in every nook and cranny and filing cabinet of the cobweb and dust draped warehouse. Sometime near the end of the 00s Grux put two and two together and started clearing out the aged treasures on eBay but the greatest scores of my life came from before his harvesting. I still have my invoices and can’t believe the rarities I picked up for pennies. Salad days....
