Missed Opportunity

Bold played last week. I should have seen them. But I didn't. I never have. Even though they've been playing out on and off for a few years.

Bold - Looking Back. amazon.com. Used.

Favs

My favorite Youth of Today release.

And as much as I love Shelter, probably my favorite Cappo release.

While I'm at it, one of my top five favorite Revelation releases.

Youth of Today.

Go Buy It

Quicksand. New. RevHQ.com.

United By Fate

I really hated this album on first listen, right around when it came out.

I think I wanted a new Rival Schools record instead. Not that it was my choice. But that's what I wanted.

A few months ago I picked it up in a bargain bin (fittingly) and it's not so bad. My initial reaction was skewed based on Rival Schools desires.

So now that there actually is a new Rival Schools album, have I bothered to listen to it? Nope.

Walking Concert - Run To Be Born. AKA Music. Bargain bin.

Out of Stock

I don't know if this is out of print. But it is definitely out of stock on RevHQ. So I feel okay about posting it.

Tell me if I'm wrong.

Shelter - Perfection of Desire. Princeton Record Exchange. Bargain punk.

Olds

I was at this show. I was at one of the shows. I forgot there was a second show. I'm not sure which of the two I attended.

It was a benefit and a book release.

I still don't own the book.

Anti-Matter.

Revelation Vinyl

I bought the vinyl at the Princeton Record Exchange soon after it was released.

On black.

For years it was the only format I owned. Inconvenient to say the least.

Like all of my records, it was sold.

I eventually replaced it with a compact disc. Although not immediately. A Manic Compression gap in my collection.

Quicksand - Manic Compression. eBay. Used.

I Selected Every Song at Sugar Mom's, I Waited, Never to be Played

I saw a video clip on Beavis and Butthead.

I decided to buy the album.

With research. It lead me to Revelation Records. As a scene. More than just a label.

The purchase. An indirect influence on my becoming "straight edge."

The first release to really separate hardcore from punk rock. A whole other world. Subset. Genre.

It isn't even a hardcore record.

Quicksand - Slip. ???
