I have been excited to see Cold War Kids perform for some time now and have been even more so stoked pumped for tonights show originally slated for Radio City Music Hall. I was a little disappointed to hear the venue change announced last minute, but felt "oh well, what the hell" good band, good times, it'd be nice to fly in from Minnesota and see a show at a Historic venue, but I guess its just as cool to explore more of NYC. Well as it clearly turns out the reason the show was moved was likely because the 2nd opening act, your boys No Age, seem to have no talent. While I may seem to be some one-off wanna be music critic I will have you know I never thought I'd see myself typing up a review for a show. Not to mention writing one up hours after because I felt so disgusted and ripped off that I paid decent money to have my ears bleed while your two hipsters get the bronx cheer every time they changed songs. Never have I been this motivated to whine about how shitty an opening band was. In fact, I have NEVER seen an opener get quarters, pennies, tickets and plastic cups thrown at them then actually get booed off stage when their set was done. What was originally a Bronx cheer ended up turning into angry boos and jeers from a crowd that paid good money to see a great band (and what was expected to be half decent openers, though Baths did fine) only to find out the show would change venus and in anticipation for the overall shittiness of the second opener (No Age) we'd get $10 back.

All I can say is that we deserved at least double that in refund or at least drinks on the house to make that godawful attempt at musical entertainment bearable to listen to. As much as you might hop to dismiss this as a random rant from some a$$, I want to stress that I like every type of music and am willing to give everything and everyone a chance. Whatever the hell they were trying to do was NOT music, their "performance" is simply an annoyance that likely damages anyones ears who listens to it. And apparently the only reason why they got this gig is for the silly Obama T-Shirt stunt and subsequent Radiohead love fest, or being from LA. Either way this was total trash, I'm angry I wasted $100 dollars on 2 tickets to see a show I originally thought to see at Radio City, $300 on a plan ticket and invited a friend who flew all the way from Sweden to see this show for his birthday. This was disgusting and held nothing in comparison to the live Karaoke I witnessed on just the night before at Prohibition in the Upper West Side. You each should feel slightly guilty for calling yourselves a Band, promoters, marketers and salespeople for a sham like this.

I bid you good night and hope no one is ever subject to this type of abuse ever again.

Sincerely,

Santa Clarita Valley Independent Record Store

A new record store opened up in the SCV recently called ROCK CANDY. I went the other day and got to dig through some of the used records and was delighted to score a few. Can't beat OMD and ILL REPUTE .

If you are out there stop by, there hasn't been an independent record store in town for over ten years (if you remember Rave Up, Tempo, Music Plus etc..). In fact there isn't even another record store in town. They buy used vinyl and cd's too. Exciting!

NEW PPM RECORDS OUT MARCH 29, ORDER NOW! LIMITED!

PPM40 - CHALK CIRCLE "Reflection" LP ORDER HERE

1ST PRESSING OF 2000. BLACK VINYL. 12 SONGS. PRINTED COVERS. COMES WITH 16 PAGE BOOKLET.

Chalk Circle existed in the Washington, DC metro area punk/hardcore scene between 1981 and 1983. They were the first all-female rock or punk band to ever record and perform in DC, and
their recorded output will finally be available in one place: on the Reflection LP, released by both Mississippi Records and Post Present Medium. The twelve songs on this release are from compilations on Outside Records and WGNS, live shows, and unreleased recordings. It also comes with a sixteen page booklet compiled by guitarist/vocalist Sharon Cheslow that tells the Chalk Circle story in its entirety for the first time. The booklet features photographs, press clippings, and extensive liner notes by renowned musician and producer Don Fleming, whose band Velvet Monkeys headlined Chalk Circle's first shows.

Chalk Circle, although personally part of the birth of hardcore as friends and fans of the Dischord scene, musically never fit in to the stringent rules of that scene. They sound like they were from a time where experimentation was rewarded, where new ideas were examined and transformed by people who were curious and excited to fit with the moment. The ideas were then transformed again, when the moment changed. In an interview by Alex Guiness in 1982, in response to a question about how to label Chalk Circle, vocalist/guitarist Mary Green answered, "We'll create our own tag." For those who want a tag, well, think about the raw experimental U.S. punk of Flipper, Bush Tetras, and The Minutemen, or the innovative post-punk of Delta 5, The Swell Maps, Liliput, and The Slits. Think about the youthful energy of DC Hardcore and the enthusiasm of teenagers making music that comes from the heart and not from copying riffs from rock records. Think about the straight-laced nature of the nation's capital and the joy of creating your own culture in a stifling straight world. Think about the promise of punk to teenage women. Chalk Circle expresses all this through music that is spirited, unique, creative, powerful, and fun.

PPM44 - SFV ACID "New West Coast" 12" ORDER HERE

1ST PRESSING OF 550. 500 BLACK VINYL. 50 RED WHITE AND BLUE SWIRLED AND MIXED VINYL. 6 SONGS. PRINTED COVERS. UNCOATED STOCK.

Re claiming the San Fernando Valley as the hard nation of weirdo-ness, SFV Acid drops his first bit of vinyl genius on the world. Mixing acid, grooves, samples, and the Los Angeles laid back vibe, this 6 song 12" is communication to the under elite, the scrawling interior laden youth. Young Zane Reynolds, with his moniker SFV Acid started making music in 2007, Throwing weekly parties in Los Angeles (Starting the exciting and fresh "GROWN" with Ashland Mines aka Total Freedom) DJing, performing, the lines get blurred, but the sounds and the medium is something to take note of. Especially in a world of dishonesty, he speaks the truth. Listen and learn.

The Cos Ap!!!
