One Base on an Overthrow: You Are Not Part Of Me

You Are Not Part Of Me

I don't know if you've seen the vinyl pressing of the Vaccine demo that came out last year: it's a one-sided 7" that has X I'LL NEVER BREAK screened right onto the vinyl, and that (along with their t-shirts, which look like the Wishingwell guy standing in front of a big X) makes it one of the coolest things I've ever seen. I finally got to check out Vaccine this weekend, after waiting since sometime last year; a couple of their Connecticut shows earlier in the year got wiped out, and I think there might've been a show at the end of '09 with American Cheeseburger that I blew off because of the weather or traffic on 91 or something. I still don't know if I got the full effect from their set at Whitney House on Sunday because, honestly, I couldn't really hear the vocals, but other than that, it only took Vaccine about 10 minutes to play fifteen 25-second songs which easily could've rubbed your face off.

These songs aren't from the demo 7", though -- they're from a new 10-song 7" that just came out on Painkiller Records. But don't buy these records just because the packaging is cool, buy them because the music is totally abusive and intolerant. No sense fucking around.

This blog was originally intended to be a place for me to write about the records in my collection, regardless of their rarity/collectability-- or, at least, it was when I first started. Lately it's just been an excuse for me to make dumb jokes and spout off about a lot of stupid crap. Sometimes different things will be thrown in along the way just to confuse people and piss them off, which is okay. All screw-ups, wrong dates, and mis-statements will be ignored by me as if they were intentional, except for grammatical errors which will be edited and rewritten at least five or six times if necessary. Facts will often be misrepresented, as a way of mocking those people who think such things are important. Please note: This is just a hobby for me, and bands are written about here either because I own one of their records or because I've seen them play before and like them. Posting press releases for crappy bands that I have no use for is not really how I want to spend my spare time. If you want to know what kind of bands I like, just look at the sidebar to see which bands I've written about already, and you'll notice that your PR firm doesn't represent any of them. Most of the live band photos on this blog are mine, and if there's one of your band that you like then please feel free to use it, I don't care. It's your band anyway. The blog title itself was swiped from Paul Caporino-- "One Base on an Overthrow" was originally going to be the title of a M.O.T.O. record that I was going to release back in the '90s, but that never actually happened. Lucky for you, I guess.
