NEW TRENDS NEW TRENDS

NEW JAMS NEW JAMS
Imagine my joy when I discovered that the Masturbator demo had been pressed to vinyl! Holy fuck can't wait to get this in the mail. I'm going to Peru in September so I gotta get studied on my Peruvian punk so I can turn up all the rares the Inca Trail has to offer. Also, speaking of South American punk, I can't stop staring at the pic on the Ataque de Sonido insert where the singer is wearing a Raw Power shirt and reading the lyrics off a piece of paper. So cool.


GOOD THROB! The best. Bile and humor. Can't fucking wait to see them in Chicago.


Slum of Legs is the best too. Best non-rap Beyonce shout-out song ever? Really killer UK DIY jams for the end times.

DOLLAR BIN RIPPERS OF NOTE (perhaps available at your local record emporium)
C.R.A.S.H. - War on All Fronts 7" ("Cult Merch" so sick! This record is worth between 1 and 3 dollars. Don't pay more.)
Young Identities - New Trends 7"
Asbest 7"s! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n7PPamkm0kw

NOTES ON MY DISCOVERY OF THE FLYING NUN CATALOG
Kai said the Verlaines sound like Train "Drops of Jupiter" so I can probably never listen to them again. Scorched Earth Policy is the best. Dark stuff. Toy Love reminds me of They Might Be Giants mixed with the Buzzcocks? I like them though. (I used to really like TMBG.) Almost ready to step to Look Blue Go Purple. Where do I start with the Gordons? College rock apotheosis 2014.

ETC.
I sold a Pantera LP for $55 to a guy in Russia and I eat so many Clif Builder Bars I deserve to be sponsored.
