7 inches of abandonment

Nov 16, 2013 10:12

Some of you may remember that I was systematically going through my 7" records, listening to them, and reviewing them. This is -- to me -- one of the most fun LJ practices: an ongoing project done for fun that --theoretically -- some other folks may enjoy reading about. Maybe it's a throwback to zines, but those are always my favorite type of ( Read more... )

One of the 7"s I released on my label was a fantastic cover of Sex Beat by a snotty glam punk bank from Baltimore. I gave Kid Congo a copy of it and he said he liked it better than the original. I should send you a copy!

Totally! I'd love to hear it if you still have it around.

...it feels good to speak softly about certain things I love.

That's a beautiful thing.

I think it's the beauty of getting older. I would have mocked that idea in my 20s

i've whittled down my seven inch collection so much, but even today there are some i just can't part with.

Agreed, though at this point I don't even know if I would get anything for the ones I don't want.

I missed these posts! Figured extenuating circumstances intervened. No worries.

I was actually just thinking about you and your 7" posts as I recently found a digital download of the album and two 7" records from The Breakouts... figured you might have been familiar with them if anyone I know would be. SF punks from the early 80s, an old friend of mine's dad's band actually. (he had her pretty young as a teenager)

The name is familiar, but I totally cannot place that band. I don't think I ever saw them.

yeah, they've kinda been wiped from memory. really some great stuff. GBH actually did a cover of their song "junkies" for their '97 release "punk junkies"
