Bad Brains Live At CBGBs 1982 DVD

Only recently got into this band. They are a band I've known about for a long time but never really bothered with them, just thinking I wouldn't be into into it due to the reggae side of it. I couldn't have been more wrong.
They sound nothing like I expected them too. Fast old school hardcore with a few reggae tracks (which I actually like)
Found the footage on youtube of this show and had a quick look about for it online and it turned out I could order it in from work. So that's what I did.
Awesome show from an awesome band. Don't make the same mistake I did!

Have I Become Elitist....

So this evening was the first time I have ever walked out of a "hardcore show".
I have always tried to remain open minded when going to shows. I see lots of people so concerned with what everybody else is doing/wearing/saying blah bloo blah etc etc.
I tend not to do that, I'm there to see bands and I couldn't really give a shit about anyone else.
But tonight, through no fault of the promoter's was like an under 18s school disco.
I saw more under age drinking tonight then I think I have ever seen.
I think this is coming across a bit "old man", i understand that everyone is just trying to have fun.
But I also know that the promoter has put in a lot of effort to organise a show in a county that doesn't really see too many these days. And all I saw was complete disregard to the venue, the organisers and the bands.
Although I wanted to stay to see the bands, I couldn't stomach seeing something that I love in such a state.

Chaos Days unfortunately didnt play but on a plus note Alaska fucking killed it!
Check them out.

Collection....

So I decided I was going to compile a list of my music collection, which I will eventually edit properly and upload in a way I can easily edit when I buy new shit.
Just spent about an hour jotting down everything I own in hard copy.

As I said in a previous post my vinyl collection will hopefully be growing pretty rapidly this year.
At some point I'll get round to sorting everything I have in download form as well.

If your interested what has been on my Ipod recently

Might even try and get a widget that will post my recent tracks on the bottom of my posts, if such thing exists.

Getting This Thing Rolling....

Part of a "new years resolution" was to actually start writing a blog, Ive had an account to read other people's for a while now, but couldnt really bring myself to post. Mainly just thinking "why would anyone give a shit about anything i have to say". But after endless hours of reading other people's drivel, that i have no interest in, made me realise that, hey, who cares if anyone likes this or not, someone might find it interesting.
I actually plan to somehow tab my main page to break it into sections where i can post about relating topics separately but being new to this i dont even know if that is possible.

Went to this show in Canterbury last night.

Never Again are one of those bands that continue to impress me. They dont even play the kinda hardcore i would normally listen to, but seriously the energy these guys put into it.
Thanks to Never Grow Up Promotions for putting the show on.
