Got cheapy CDs.

I'm glad you guys are there to support the band, but I don't get the limited vinyl compulsion, especially when there's got to be some flippers out there with bots.

I agree that the site probably ought to have countdown timers, but more importantly some kind of captcha system or other modern human authentication service. But these things cost money and as long as fans buy at inflated prices from flippers, it doesn't behoove the amrep admins to invest in it.

So now what the fuck is "Bangers"? Is it a new song? Or a play on the "Everybody Loves Sausages" idea of just doing a covers record?

I doubt they'd do Radiohead, and I don't see any Shitkid track titled "Bangers" anywhere on https://shitkid.bandcamp.com/

Best guess would be Melvins/Redd Kross doing songs from that record where they covered Bowie

what? do you mean David Bowie's album The Man Who Sold The World or their album Everybody Loves Sausages? or something else? 

Redd Kross's Teen Babes From Monsanto has "Savior Machine" (Bowie) and "Deuce" (KISS) which they've been playing live since Steven was incorporated into the band. Based on my recollections of Buzz's interviews, it might be the only Redd Kross record Buzz has ever heard.

That EP also has songs by the Stones and the Stooges so it'd be a home run for Buzz.

I think Crybaby is great but it and Colossus and POTRE don't strike me as "vinyl" type albums. The proper way to enjoy those is CD.

I'm glad, though, Bootlicker and Maggot are not only buy-on-vinyl albums but also shoot-into-space-on-precious-metal-platters albums

Yep, rock music is best enjoyed at a venue capacity between 200 and 700, standing or leaning, with black walls, ceilings, and furniture, with attendance between 60 and 90%, at a temperature of "I need a smoke after this" and a humidity of "two spilled beers and a sweaty guy three feet away"

I could see "Hot Fish" getting added to the setlist. I wish deeply for "Black Sabbath" live.

Honestly hate to admit it but I wouldn't be surprised if the upcoming US tour is too dependent on Dale's recovery. They might be trying to reduce any liability in case it does get canceled or reduced. Just speculating.

I finally got around to listening to the Shitkid album, whichever one is on Amazon prime music. It's got a yellow cover, maybe. I didn't dislike it. Seems like some lofi college dorm type stuff for the most part.

Interesting that two songs are billed as simply Melvins
