RUNNING FOR COVER LP is finally out! This thing had been years in the making - the final will and testament to one of the best fastcore bands of recent years. This will set the standard for years to come.
Also out is the debut PUNCH Ep - blistering Bay Area fastcore that brings the blur and brings the mosh. Going on tour in the US soon so be on the look out.
THREATENER Discography CD is at the plant, as well as the 50/50 - ENDLESS DEMISE Split EP. After that we got the LOW VISION EP (rad high energy thrash from Tokyo), SOCIETY OF FRIENDS Collection CD and the INFANTICIDE EP (swedish grind that will explode heads). Don't sleep!

Just a quick to say that both the SFN Ep and FINAL DRAFT Ep are out now (both representing two forms of brutal powerviolence). The RUNNING FOR COVER LP will soon follow, and then also the PUNCH - EP (sick Bay Area fastcore). All of these are in small pressings so act quick or lose out.

I keep on forgetting to mention it, but if anyone in California is looking for a reasonably priced, quick, yet good studio to record at, Craig (WHN) is running a studio called the Dutch Oven. So far bands like WHN, SCHOLASTIC DETH, HIT ME BACK, HOSTILE TAKEOVER, THIS IS MY FIRST, OUR TURN, etc have recorded there. More info at: DUTCH OVEN. Radical!

So if you check out the seller LIGAMENT's list on ebay, you will notice we have started putting up various sale items up....I have done this not only due to the quanitity of titles I had at my house before the move, but also to rationalize the idea of utilizing an internet auction site in the first place. Lost story short, hopefully some of ya can grab titles that you missed early at WAY below my cost......
Update: 06/26/04
So about my record collection being sold.....so far I have passed off to my friend Jimi about 3000-4000 pieces from the collection, and I have so much more to give him which means this sale is gonna take probably 2-3 years to complete! Its fucking nuts, way too much stuff, and alot of it is painful to see go. Right now he is slowly going through the EPs, he hasnt even started posting LPs, CDs or shirts (yes, shirts as well). Also, I gave him a bunch of in print 625 titles, so for those of you who have had a hard time finding new titles at mailorders or distros, now's your chance to.
I still feel icky about doing all of this on eBay....for the people who know me, I have spent years railing against eBay, whether in lyrics (scholastic deth, etc) or just in daily conversations. I was (and am) really pissed that the process of going to used record stores/trading with people internationally was killed by a large corporate auction site. The manner in which one can increase the price on titles has now become infamous (people spending $400-$500 for KBD eps, etc), its just totally absurd. On the flip side though, I spent about two years going to shows with all these records, and although I was able to get rid of a lot of stuff (for cheap prices I might add) I didnt even make a dent in the collection. Towards the end I was burning out on bringing 1000 pieces of vinyl to Gilman street every weekend....and also perplexed that people didnt't really know some of the hard to find titles that I had for sale (no one buying titles from HHH, ASTA KASK, DON DON, etc). So with two months left before I move everything 4000 miles to NYC, I had to figure out a plan B. This is where Jimi came in to help out.
Now although he has only been posting my stuff for the past month (before that he was doing Jeff Bale's collection), the difference between prices (and what I had thought things were worth) has really blown my mind. I had a WIDE AWAKE live (not a bootleg) ep up there and it went for $3, while the first SCHOLASTIC DETH ep was bid up to $15! What the hell? People, relax, chill out.....just think....I probably have a ton of those SCHOLASTIC EPs, so just sit back and chill. The other thing that surprised me was that the first Barbaric Thrash comp went for $25......my only guess is that it's because it has Melt Banana on it or something? But again.....I had a few of those, so just relax, don't artificially drive up the prices. Right now I have asked Jimi to make a bunch of stuff "buy it now" just so people dont get all stupid and start bidding on titles that are available everywhere.
So long story short....I wish I could have gotten rid of all this without eBay, but it has so infiltrated the way people buy used punk records it appeared as the only solution. Cop out? For sure, Im the first to admit it. I can't stand the thought that these records that have been such a huge part of my life are now giving money to some crappy internet company like eBay. But my options were: sell to a huge non-punk store in SF like Amoeba records (who don't know anything about the records I have) who would have ripped me off blind, or sell it in a lot to someone, who of course would turn around and put things up individually on eBay. Infact this has already happened, people who have been at Gilman and bought my stuff at super cheap prices have turned around and posted it on eBay a week later. LAME! So long story short, this sucks. Not only am I watching my collection of 17 years dissappear, but its through a process that I detest.
