The Beer and Vinyl Thread

[kbuzz1]

BrandoSF - what soul? I'm arguably more into soul than hip hop. Just don't have as much on record.

Sometimes when you get ahold of a beer that for years you figured you'd never see you just need to pair it up with something chill to listen to for a couple hours. Truthfully, I'm not sure I've ever listened to this album in its entirety. I used to know a guy who drummed on a couple tracks on this and mostly I just listened to those two. Halfway through though and I'm wishing I had done this sooner.

First Father’s Day spin

 

[Pierre Pressure]

Have the house to myself for at least one more record's worth, so I'm declaring today a day of celebration and going all out. I actually don't have much to say about Citizen Fish...they're basically Subhumans taking it easy. Still solid, haven't been able to see them live, but I have been able to catch Subhumans a time or two. I'll never forget one show in particular. It was probably the last week or two of the existence of Axis in Boston, which was a big deal, and it almost certainly was the last punk show at the venue. I went to see the Subhumans and didn't bother checking who the openers were, it turns out one of the openers was World Inferno/Friendship Society. Now, don't get me wrong, I like those guys, I know several people who spent time in that band, but many of their fans are....not your typical punk crowd. The interaction between the crust punks there for Subhumans and the suit and tie crowd for World Inferno was fun to watch. It almost got topped a few years later when World Inferno was offered an opening slot for The Dwarves, but they opted to headline at a different venue instead....oh well, what could have been.

Ran out of album, savoring the beer. These guys were my pick for this week's great music thread, though sadly I don't have the album I picked on vinyl. This is putting me in a weird headspace...the beer makes me glad I'm in Pittsburgh while the album is giving me the feels for Boston.

 

[Pierre Pressure]

Sticking with the Boston ska theme. Bonus points for being able to give my wife **** because she is the big Big D fan but this is the only album we have and its mine. They also have a split with Melt Banana that I need to get my hands on but...all in due time. I suppose this whole trip down Boston sound for me is fitting since we will both be seeing Dropkick Murphys for the first time tomorrow night (me by choice, her by circumstance). Also curious as to how this beer will be since we should have cracked these several months (a year maybe?) ago.

Just checked them out and this is right up my alley. Good tunes.

 

[kbuzz1]

Not sure if I’ve mentioned before but Moon Duo is Ripley’s other project that occupies the time in between WS records. It’s just as psych and droney but leans more electronic. I have less of their stuff but still very enjoyable.

B side is Police Truck.

Such a good zone out record!

Compulsive drunk discogs snag. Not sure I realized that this **** came out in 1992. I always lumped it in with the rest of the pop punk releases from the mid/late 90s.

 

[kbuzz1]

Here is the real star of that drunken discogs binge..

Haven’t heard the album proper in years (have their greatest hits or whatever)...damn does this bring back the best memories. Skating, drinking, smoking, *******, skipping school, running from the cops after drinking my underage weight in Natty ice at a college punk show....just totally ******* off. But the brilliance of this **** is that while it promotes a bit of all of that, it made me think at the same time. For the first time ever. It turned me basically into a ethical ****-off degenerate. The weight of the lyrics being logical, thoughtful....questioning ****. Politically conscious...tolerant...empathetic. I mean they cover Redemption Song for ***** sake. Probably the first time I’d ever heard it to boot. Ugh.

Really shaped me as someone who will always look at accepted standards with a slight cockeye...always skeptical...always looking for better.

Reminds me of the Punk-O-Rama comp's from Epitaph...good times.

I hate picture discs. Overpriced. Cannot easily determine the side you want to play...

Anyway, jagoffbrewer HH awesomeness and hot water music covering poppy cryptic tunes from alkaline trio.

I only have this on cd, but man, played the **** out of it.

 

[PurityControl88]

I love rap

Man, “Let me Watch” is such a rad song. I remember hearing it on college radio years ago and being blown away. I also remember a debate about whether the Viktor Vaughn stuff was better than the MF Doom stuff.

Which side more?

 

[PurityControl88]

Relaxing and listening to some Townes. Just finished my whiskey. Moving onto beer next.

Cheers

Probably my favorite Townes album. I recently bought an album of his which I wasn’t familiar with and was a little disappointed. That live album really raised the bar.

 

[PurityControl88]

Which side more?

Alkaline Trio. I want a whole album of Alkaline Trio songs that sound like that. HWM's version of Radio is no sloucher though.
All the feels for that split and Maybe I'll Catch Fire, ahhh my mislead youth.

kbuzz what do you think?

Have to be honest, never listen to the alkaline trio side. They don’t do it for me. But I’m a huge HWM fanboy, so their side never had a chance in this specific situation. Love God Deciding, Radio and Bleeder.

After this and No Division, HWM fell apart though. Lost the appeal.

As far as HWM goes I've only ever listened to this split and the Moonpies for Misfits 7". What else is worth checking out?

How do you feel about the Moonpies for Misfits EP? If that and their songs on the alkaline trio split didn’t propel you to seek out more, then they’re probably not for you.

But, if you must...Fuel for the Hate Game, Forever and Counting and No Division (along with the two 7” that make up the moonpies EP) are their peak IMO. After that they became “influenced” by a lot of the bands they were touring with and while I personally still enjoy a bit of it, they became lost in the sea of at that point. Basically what made them unique, at least to me, ended with No Division (which by the way, has become my personal **** Trump album...ironically written nearly 20 years before he took office) .
