MP videos from this weekend

I played my first show with MAXIMUM PENALTY this weekend in celebration of Jorge's 40th birthday and the release of their great new record. Felt great to actually play again and it was a ton of fun playing those songs. Here's a couple videos from the show.

Friday Night Hardcore

Friday night, Agnostic Front played down the street from my work with Antidote, Wisdom In Chains and The Mongoloids. I was quite stressed from my day at work, got extremely drunk with Jimmy G but managed to snap a few shots of Antidote and AF with the old iPhone prior to retardation. 

Memorial Day Weekend

Made a spur of the moment trip this past weekend to Syracuse to visit my Mom and Dad at their summer camp in Fair Haven. Made the rounds and visited with my aunt and cousins, saw my brother for a minute, had delicious BBQ and did a little bit of hiking and beach strolling.

Bad Brains collabs

Legendary punk/hardcore band, Bad Brains and the iconic skateboard sneaker brand, Vans have collaborated to release some fresh new Bad Brains inspired sneakers and shirts over the past few months. For those who have missed it, Vans has put up a site showcasing all the releases thus far as well as a nice video interview with Daryl Jenifer. They've done a superb job with the branding, — superb enough to have me spend hundreds on every sneaker, that is.

Not to go unmentioned, Supreme has also been a part of a Bad Brains collaboration of their own and have release some amazing gear as well (hoodies, shirts and jackets). Not as easily as obtainable as the Vans releases and certainly not as economical, but a must have for any Bad Brains enthusiast.

Jah Bless.

$5.00 The Promise, "Believer" CD Blowout

While doing some cleaning, I came across a box of Promise "Believer" CD's. I know CD's are basically a thing of the past these days, but for those who still use them and collect them, here's your chance to own this (self-proclaimed) musical gem for only $5.oo (plus shipping)!!!

I have 25 CD's still shrink wrapped and waiting for your hot grubby hands to caress them. First come, first serve — once they're gone, they're gone for good.

FEAR Requests (Fulfilled)

My man, (Punk) Pat, at In A Time Of Hate was ever so gracious to fulfill my FEAR requests along with some other rarities that I never knew existed. So, thank you to him and check out his blog. He's an old Syracuse head who has traveled a lot and has an incredible sense of the underground and its music scene, so his posts are always well rounded and insightful. Thanks, Pat.

I'm here at work and in dire need of 2 records to listen to. If anybody has these (or even 1 of them), leave me a comment and I will give you information on how to get them to me this afternoon. Thank you.
