Vinyl Me Please Essentials

[mitchwagz]

All these guesses are making me think this LP isn’t gonna be quite as acclaimed as Storf had stated. No offense to any of these artist but these are a bit underwhelming. Shame on me for buying into the hype. It would though explain why they just wouldn’t give the name of the release for the month, it’s easier to build FOMO.

100% agree. I think the best example of something like this happening is Death (Detroit) about a decade ago on Drag City. That stuff is pretty solid. Either this is newly found material or it hasn’t been good enough to get a wide reissue on vinyl. Hope I’m proven wrong though and it’s actually good.

Proto-punk and never been pressed? Are we sure it's not My Chemical Romance?

Unless Storf has no idea what the word "proto" means, which, well....

For all we know, he could think punk started with Blink-182, so it could be a Green Day album!

considering emo came from post hardcore the irony of storf calling it proto punk means that it is actually going to My Chemical Romance doesn't it!

If its proto-punk and its essentials it should be like The Stooges or the New York Dolls, shouldn't it?

Damn you, you quoted me before I deleted my shitty joke. Now it remains in shame. But he is a mormon so who knows

I'll have you know there are at least dozens of us Mormons who know proper punk and hardcore genre classifications. DOZENS!

Also, is he really?

Honestly have no idea. I typed it as an inside joke of what a moron would type because they're y'know.. a moron. So now I'm lost as to who we are actually referring to.

I just assumed that you meant moron and that even if he was a Mormon that it’s still be true...

 

[LeSamourai]

Well, like any large group of people, the Mormon/moron Venn diagram has a fair amount of overlap, as I know from personal experience... so these things are not mutually exclusive!

 

[LeSamourai]

Also, from now on I'm gonna imagine Storf going door to door in a white shirt and tie, trying to convert people to the Gospel of Låpsley by handing out some of those extra copies of her ROTM they have lying around.

And by no means did I mean to insult Mormons with my 'joke'. I'm not sure I've ever met any in real life and the majority of my experience with Mormons can be summed up through my watching South Park. Seem to be generally really nice people who just happen to believe in something that I don't necessarily subscribe to (and yes, there are some ridiculous aspects but really no different than Christianity/Judaism/Islam/etc..

My disappointment will now be it being neither of these bands.

I just assumed you meant he was a square, because most Mormons are.

Operation Ivy live album confirmed

Unrelated, but the Op Ivy LP will be reissued in Europe for RSD2020. Leaked source: 20200302-154641-resized-1

But he is a mormon so who knows

Now really looking forward to MC5 w/ The Mormon Tabernacle Choir - Live at Temple Square.

 

[Viking Dan]

I'm going with The Late Greats - Turpentine.

It IS the greatest lost track of all time.

 

[Expensive Headache]

I guess this list might be a good place to start? I'm thinking it's gotta be some sort of compilation situation, right? List of proto-punk bands - Wikipedia

THEM is a possibility- they have already done Van Morrison. No idea if they have something never on vinyl before. I’d likely swap but whatever, willing to take a chance on whatever the pick may be.

Yeah, with soul you can pull off something like Nat Turner because there was SO MUCH quality underground soul music in so many cities that we may never unearth it all- Numero will die trying.

But punk/"proto-punk"? Virtually anything that is relevant to that scene has been mined. I'm really curious what selling point this one has.

Agree with the mined comment. I’d be surprised if it was a solid deep find, but it’s either super specific/abstract/limited appeal or incorrectly characterized as Proto-Punk.
