White Wax Wednesday, starring Floorpunch.

By b. murphy | Published 12/14/2011

Yeah, we’re stretching the themes we go for, but c’mon, it sounds good right? And xbestoneyetx has the goods. Floorpunch goods, yo. Both are rare, and both are awesome.

Here’s a fun “white” factoid. If you’ve ever driven through Worcester, Massachusetts along Route 9, you may have driven through White City. And you probably wondered, why the fuck would anyone name a portion of a town “white city?” Sounds a little … off, right? Turns out, back in the early 1900s, there was an amusement park right there on Quinsigamond Lake. It was part of a chain of amusement parks, each was called … duh, duh, duh … White City. It had roller coasters, diving horses, … all the exciting turn of the century amusements. Eventually it shuttered and now it’s the home of the Tortilla Triangle (or it was. Qdoba closed, leaving just Moe’s and Chipotle to duke out that intersection). So there you have it. Solid factoid.

Wild In The Streets!

By morgado | Published 09/05/2011

Under a day to go on this one song ep from fifthwardboy. The band is the Circle Jerks and the one track is their cover of the 70s song Wild In The Streets, which I actually never bothered to check out until today. Way different vibe than the one the Jerks give it. Definitely could be right at home in The Warriors. And dig all the old street gang cuts in the video…

Floorpunch Wax.

I’m gonna conclude today’s round of Porter’s records (as sold by xbestoneyetx) with, appropriately enough, 2 more FP records that he’s cutting loose. And yes, I am once again keeping it short because I’m still puzzling out my taxes. You’d think this would be easy; it’s not like I have gambling winnings to declare or anything…

Stock Collection – The Promise Ring / Texas Is The Reason Split EP

By b. murphy | Published 01/29/2011

When Jaybil was talking about “stock collection” items, I’m sure he was referencing a good stock collection for the average crucial edgemin. Well, I’m taking that concept, and running with it. This time, I’m giving you an EP that deserves a home in the collection of every fan of Tigers Jaw, A Loss For Words and Buried Alive. Ok, maybe not Buried Alive. But certainly Set Your Goals or Title Fight. This EP from aaronbyung is a must have. White vinyl. Each side is a gem. The Promise Ring and Texas Is The Reason. East Texas Ave. You may be tempted to check your RPMs, but you are hearing this one right. Super laid back groove. And Blue Boy from TITR. Just a great listen. Go ahead and schoop this white vinyl from Jade Tree. It’s well worth it.

Rev Collection – Quicksand

By jb | Published 01/12/2011

Pre ebay says this record took me a while to track down. It seemed like for a while everyone that had one didnt want to give it up. I think I finally tracked one down at a record shop in providence RI. Foolishly I did not scoop up the Warzone 7″ on orange wax for $60. but at that time the price was real high and I was still in college with not so much money.

1000 on white wax

more SOIA for your Rev Collection
White wax “final press” from 1997, limited to 300 copies. Includes insert.

I wish I had more funds in my paypal to pick up pretty much everything Ive posted up from chrismin but I cleared my meager paypal earlier this year picking up other crucial records.

Rev Collection – Inside Out White wax

By jb | Published 12/29/2010

Another one for the Rev Collection. Inside Out on white wax out of 350. I remember when these came out I ordered this and the quicksand 7″ on gold and maybe “the way it is comp” on blue but I remember being not too psyched on them. Like I didnt give two shits about them so I dont think I ordered any more of the “final presses” and now I kinda regret that. Wish I ordered the GB, judge, and SOIA ones. Such is life. again more fire brought to you by chrismin

Division 1 Champs tour press BIN

By jb | Published 12/27/2010

I think rekone05john is aiming at the higher end of the spectrum with his BIN on this FP single. Still kinda worth it though as floorpunch continues to get better with age and your chances of copping one on gold are slim to none.

Kill Holiday

By b. murphy | Published 05/14/2010

I love Kill Holiday. I’m a Monitor Dependency guy through and through. When the LP dropped, I was confused. It wasn’t what I was expecting at all, but over the years, it’s grown on me immensely. I’m not saying I like it more than the EP, but I’m a fan.

For my 20th birthday, my wife took me to see Kill Holiday at the Middle East Upstairs.

May 12 1999 @ The Middle East Upstairs: Kill Holiday, Mid Carson July, The Warren Commission

This was quite the interesting show. If you’ve ever been upstairs in the Middle East, you’ll know what I’m talking about. Most people envision the giant stage (with shitty barrier) and the downward sloping, chute-like mosh area. But that’s the downstairs. The upstairs is a whole other world. There is the restaurant area, and then the gig space. It’s basically a raised platform with some standing area in front of it. There are a few poles holding the ceiling up. But in a low attendance gig, you can move to many unobstructed areas.

The Kill Holiday gig was not overwhelmingly attended. There were people there but not a ton. Clevo was there. So was my friend Sal (recently married and having a baby next month, CONGRATS!). Melissa and I had filled up on Indian food so we weren’t getting much moshing in. Of course, no one else was moshing either, for obvious reasons.

Kill Holiday sounded great though. They played tons of songs from the LP, but NOT ONE song from the Monitor Dependency EP. When I shouted out, “Cold Shoulder,” they laughed. I later learned they NEVER play the songs that were written with the previous singer. Suicide can do that to a band.

But the gig was cool, and I ended up snagging a blue, orange & white Kill Holiday Revelation Records tee. Good look.

Mindset

By b. murphy | Published 04/02/2010

I’m a big fan of React Records. Aram is a great dude, and he’s pulled together some awesome bands for his label.

He also pulls together some excellent packages for his releases. Always that personal touch.

Mindset is one of those bands on React Records. Mindset is also awesome. The music is fucking excellent. There is no doubt about that. They’re holding down that Central US Straight Edge scene. Much like The First Step, they have it on lock.

Go ahead and grab this ep set, and you’ll be one step closer to having a collection like Jay Jacoby. This lot comes with everything Aram would have sent you had pre-ordered like you know you should have.

Don’t forget, The React Records showcase is one week from today in Berkley, Cali. If anyone wants to fly me out for the gig, I’ll gift them some sweet slabs of wax. Get at me, folks.

Worth Its Weight In Gold

By b. murphy | Published 03/30/2010

About a million years ago, my friend Tre once commented that this EP would be “worth its weight in gold someday.” I’m paraphrasing because I doubt Tre has ever uttered that phrase, but the concept is what I’m trying to convey, people.

At the time, I doubted him. Seriously. I couldn’t fathom any record with a pressing of ONE THOUSAND ever being worth it’s weight in even Nickel or Cadmium.

But he was right. Over the years, this record has sold for crazy amounts. I don’t suspect this will undersell any expectations. Especially considering the number on this one. That’s right. This one does NOT have a number. A few were handed to friends and family without a number, making this one even more rare.

5 inch records. So silly. At least they fit in your EP box. Not much you can do with 10″. Too big for the EP box, too little to fit happily with your LPs. Definitely an outcast. The 5″ is sort of like that weird brother, but not so weird you won’t admit to knowing him.

It’s All Our Blood

By b. murphy | Published 03/29/2010

I came across this GREAT lot just now.

Actually, a little birdie told me about it …

Now, my math may not be the greatest (if you saw my tax return, you’d likely agree), but $67 for these 3 LPs seems like a a second best bargain to having actually done the pre-order the first time around. Color vinyl is sold out so you can’t get that anymore. Of course, you should still order the black vinyl from the labels. Support React Records and Youngblood Records.

Do it. Do it.

Great record.
