Bargain Bin #1

I made a post but it won't post? for some reason? I really like using Live Writer from Microsoft to format my posts but it stopped working with blogspot today so I threw it up on wordpress. enjoy the bargain bin post over there.

Sunny Day(s) come from the past

So, two newer bands that I sorta dig a good amount kind of disappointed me with what they've had to offer so far this year... first it was Silversun Pickups new LP, which was just ok. Not anything really in comparison to their first LP. Which truely is loaded with a ton of gems. Now Editors, I just heard the new single from them Papillon and I'm so disappointed with whats going on that I can't even post it. Maybe it will grow on me. but as of right now I don't care for it.

Also I won't be able to see Sunny Day Real Estate on their reunion tour... which I would absolutely love to goto, However I am going to see Far (which for me is probably more important). So because I do love SDRE's LP's (even rising tide was enjoyable) I'm gonna throw some OOP SDRE love your way. thanks for readin' friends.

New Ribeye Brothers

rib eye:a large beefsteak cut from the outer, or eye, side of the ribs.

broth⋅er: a male offspring having both parents in common with another offspring; a male sibling.

Our favorite Jacks Music Employee came out with a new album with his garage rockin' band and I wanted to throw up the cover because you can't find it anywhere. I'm not necessarily sure how to get a hold of it, we've got our in's with the big guy. I would suggest calling Jacks Music at the early hours of 10am [ (732)-842-0731 ] ask for The Ribeye Brothers "New Ways to Fail", which apparently was recorded about 2 years ago (i believe right around the time their record label went under.. bummer). also try hittin' them up on myspace!

and hopefully they won't mind but here's one of my favorite tracks from their new slab a plastic "Shit Car" [If you guys do, tell me I'll tear it right down no qualms]

Rezeew

So today I finally added the Weezer catalog to my iTunes, which may seem strange for anyone that knows me, except for I’ve been very slowly going through my entire collection trying to get it all on one 500gb hard drive, and its taking an excruciatingly long time.

I recently came in the possession of the next or newest Weezer single, and much like Pork & Beans it shows promise. However we’ve all been burned by the promise of Weezer before, these fellows are gonna do whatever it is their little herat desires.

Since I don’t really have my Weezer collection in full effect at the moment I’ve got some not as hard to find gems for you today.

I Want You (new single)
I Just Threw Out The Love of My Dreams (from Good Life EP)

thanks for listenin’, enjoy!

Wax on Wax

Today I received the new Wax  7” from SideOneDummy, which is about… 15 years late? sort of. Wax is doing a reunion at some festival that I won’t be able to make it to but I can still order the bonus songs from the bands final LP. I know one of these tracks ended up on a single for “California”, the most popular (i think) Wax track out there. However I find “Mallrats” far more memorable or even the three songs from the Bio-Dome soundtrack, but whatever I’m sure the 2min of watching a man run on fire sparked some teenage interest in the mid 90’s. They also did a rendition of  Ren & Stimply’s “Happy, Happy, Joy, Joy” for Saturday Morning Cartoon’s Greatest Hits.

Wax’s 2nd and probably more well known album 13 Unlucky Numbers is quite a find. I never used to think so, in fact I remember finding many testimonies to its horrendousness back in the day, but anything I ever said about that album after revisiting a lot of 90’s bands a couple years back I completely take back. You can find it relatively cheap in used and bargin bins as well as Amazon of course. so go find it check out the tracks I posted and have some fun.

and check out their myspace??

The Refreshments Go Lo

So I wasn’t a huge fan of the Refreshments album “Fizzy Fuzzy Big & Buzzy” when it came out back in the day, of course I loved the hits “Down Together” & “Banditos” but the album just didn’t connect with my 13 year old brain. Not like Bush or Everclear (or even better Korn). [side note still love Everclear today and listen to the 1st third of their discography on a very normal basis]

HOWEVER, in the past couple of days I have become well aquainted with the earlier workings of the Refreshments and find them quite addicting and just fun to listen to. I’m a huge fan of 90’s music and considering I grew up and experienced the 90’s through teenage eyes, it’s not real surprise. So today I’m offering up some Refreshments love for all those enthusiasts out

there. Before the Refreshments were signed to a major label they were rockin’ it independent style with they’re first effort “Wheelie” & EP counterpart “Lo, Our Much Praised Yet Not Altogether Satisfactory Lady”. I’ve come to really love the track “Los Angeles” on it which is actually the only exclusive track amongst the two releases. Anyone interested in an mp3 copy of “Wheelie” please leave a comment, Thanks thats it for now…

oh, also go check out crystal method’s site for a free remix! and you can stream their new album.. I’m digging it more then the last couple of releases.

Filter Remixed

The other weekend I went to Pittsburgh, PA and various parts of Ohio for my birthday. We stopped in Pitt to hang out with my friend Sarah who knows all the good vinyl record shopping hot spots, i don’t know if that's true it just sounds nice.

I found this SWEET Filter 12” for their 2nd single from Short Bus “Dose”. It contains 4 mixes of the song.. and only one is really good but its all very fun to listen to. However I’m feeling lazy lately and don’t feel like transferring anything from vinyl. So instead I did some digging and got a whole bunch of remixes from the short bus era of Filter. I hope you enjoy them

From the Hey Man Nice Shot Single
Nickel Bag mix
1/4 Pound mix
Big Mac mix

From the One Single
Jurrassitol (Drum & Bass mix)
Dose (Triple-sect Mescaline Mix)*

From the (Can’t You) Trip Like I Do Single
Danny Saber Remix

*this mix is on the 12” i found

I hope you all enjoy these as much as I do. if for some reason someone see’s this post and wants more I’ve got some other cool stuff holstered, but I need comments to get momentum. the 12” i found contains one more mix that isn’t posted here plus an instrumental of the Mescaline mix. G’Night!
