RBF just put up a bunch of vintage shirts that they found in a warehouse. Limited sizes though.

Luckily, they're still offering a two pack of the older vinyls for $10. Sold! Now I have to go plunk down more money for some of the LTJ reissues. Anyone joining me in that? Unrelated, but I got to see Taj Motel Trio in Philly on Sunday. They put on a damned good show, and the new album is pretty rockin'. You should definitely go see them when they go on tour again.

Yesterday was my birthday, and though it hasn't come in yet, my friend got me the Serious Awesomeness! Aquabats dvd. I can't even begin to describe the joy! I was under the impression it was out of print, but I guess I was wrong. Does anyone else own it?

It's got tons of old footage, great fight scenes, and you can't beat 2 discs of the Aquabats just rocking out.

She's Mad is one of the best third wave ska songs ever.

Mysterious Aftertaste posted:I have never seen a bad LTJ show. Last time i saw them (the only time) my friends wanted to leave because they're all metal heads and can't deal with the vocalist. I wasn't really happy. The Banana Pee posted:Despite having such a "happy" sound RBF and especially Aaron have been very depressed and tormented people. Listen to any one of their CDs with the exception of Cheer Up! (which I think is their best, because it isn't whiny) and you'll hear the rantings of some really troubled people. I always figured they were just tongue in cheek, contrasting happy upbeat tunes with depressing/whiney lyrics. It's a pity too, because they're all really talented musicians. It always seemed a "well life sucks, but who gives a gently caress" vibe. Take beer for example And even in S.R. they ask to just wait a while so they can get their style right. We can only hope for the next album, really.

LTJ's In With the Out Crowd get way too much hate. Sure, half the album is entirely mediocre but has a couple absolutely amazing tracks on it. A Still Life Franchise and P.S. Shock the World are two of their best songs ever in my opinion. I've got a personal love for Soundtrack of My Life because it reminds me of listening to Less Than Jake for the past 10 years. Also, if you haven't heard any of the IWTOC B-sides, do yourself a favor and get them all (Negative Sides of Optimistic Eyes, We the Uninspired, Even Trophy Boys and Girls get the Blues, Only Human). They're all really really good. Oh, and Overrated's alternate lyrics are so much loving better than the ones on the album. They manage to turn the entire song into a searing satire of the pop-punk/emo scene. Anyway, here's my order of albums Hello Rockview > Borders & Boundaries > Pezcore > Losing Streak > anthem. (& B is for B Sides) > In With the Out Crowd I like them all for different reasons too. Hello Rockview - Honestly the perfect punk/ska album in my opinion. The extra trombone really pumps everything up, as does the organ that shows up on a few songs. Borders & Boundaries - I hated this album at first, there was probably no way to avoid that seeing as it came out after HR. I think it's really great now. It's the point in the band's history where Vinnie's lyrics start getting really insightful. Pezcore - You can hear the squeak of the bass drum pedal during the intro to Where the Hell is Mike Sinkovich. That sound makes this entire album for me. It's so loving raw. Losing Streak - Less Than Jake at the peak of their piss & vinegar stage. anthem. - Didn't like this one very much at first either. Later I realized it has some of their best guitar riffs ever. The guitars are so awesome on this album. In With the Out Crowd - They're getting hosed hard by Warner Bros on this album, but a few tracks (mentioned above) manage to break through and be loving amazing. I'm really excited for whatever comes out of their new Sleep it Off label album. So much promise... I've been trying to get into LTJ vinyl for awhile now, but it's such a daunting task. I went to a free show in Gainesville a few months ago and managed to score or $10 a copy of Losers, King... on green vinyl. Apparently it's limited to 200 copies. They were just selling it among a bunch of stuff they found in their warehouse. It was a collector-nerd's wetdream at that show. They were throwing 7"s into the crowd like nobody's business. Sadly I didn't manage to snag one

Holy crap, it looks like the last of the Less Than Jake catalogue is finally up on Amazon MP3! And looks like the entirety of the Five Iron Frenzy catalog is going up on 4/1 too. I'm excited, I've wanted those albums for a long time.

I really really hope FIF does a reunion tour. Reese seems to really hate the fame from FIF though. Is Amazon adding any exclusive stuff? I have every LTJ and FIF CD already :| StrikerObi posted:LTJ's In With the Out Crowd get way too much hate. Sure, half the album is entirely mediocre but has a couple absolutely amazing tracks on it.

IWTOC doesn't have bad songs, but the production of that album was horrible. Hearing them live is like hearing a completely different song.

guppy posted:Oh hay, I didn't realize Medium Rare was a compilation. Still, it is apparently almost entirely new-to-CD -- Wiki says three new songs, nine previously unreleased tracks and some rare B-sides. Plus, 'Don't Worry Desmond Dekker' is one of the best songs that the Bosstones have put out in a while. It gives me high hopes for what a new record would sound like and hopefully, they'll tour again so I can finally go see them. Let's Face It was the first album I ever bought and it'd be a shame if they stopped playing all together before I get a chance to see them.

Got really lucky one year and caught them and RBF at Warped Tour five or six years ago. Bad Religion and Flogging Molly were also there. On the other hand, I also got a really bad sunburn on the back of my neck.

Missing out on both a Flogging Molly/Bosstones double bill AND Flogging Molly, the Blue (motherfucking) Meanies and the loving World Inferno Friendship Society because I was a fuckup in school has always been my biggest punk regret.

I saw a clip from a kids show that is relevent and pretty funny: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZL-R47vp2XQ The dad is a rudeboy, the kid is a skinhead (the ska listening kind, not the later neo-nazi kind), and the girl is a mod. And of course that is the iconic scooter hiding in the background. Also, there's the aquabats doll and the ska imagery and probably other stuff I missed.

There's a Ska Prom in the Tampa/St. Pete area in a couple weeks with local south Florida ska bands. Are any of you who are in Florida going?

My goodness. That is quite the regret. Seeing the Blue (motherfucking) Meanies - which is the proper pronunciation of that band name, well done - is quite possibly the most important goal in my life. Kiss Your rear end Goodbye is absurdly good. I'm relatively certain my head would explode if I actually managed to get to see them play Polka In The Eye. Those guys were (and probably still are) way ahead of their time. Commence love of The Blue (motherfucking) Meanies now. And if you've never heard them, go out and get all of their records immediately.
