Buying vinyl for new releases is cool and all, but there is no greater feeling than that of scoring an older record. I think that I burned myself out chasing new bands in 2015. I was constantly on a quest, and always on the go, checking out new albums, and of all the records that I'd bought last year, half of them were for records released in 2015. Man, with a collection that has more holes to fill than a porn film, why am I spending so much time and money chasing new shit?
While I still can get caught up in new releases, I'm trying to commit myself to being more of an old curmudgeon, and to live in the past.
I was late to the party with Negative FX. Even though I was heavily into Slapshot when I first got into Hardcore, for one reason or another, I completely missed the boat on Negative FX until the mid-00's.
These days, that Negative FX album easily tops any of those Slapshot records, so on my mission to concentrate on knocking some classics off my Want List this year, it feels great to finally add this to the collection.
