Today In The Mail: A Great Day

Today three packages came, two of them are things I ordered/won this weekend. Its weird how other things that are not pre-orders or have "shipped" end up taking longer then some other things coming from much farther away... The first package I opened was the Delay and Tin Armor singles that Art Of The Underground put out. The Delay one has been out of press for at least a year and a the Tin Armor one came and went in the last few months. The second package was the Riff Raff - Lowlifer test press I won on ebay the other day. This is number one of ten that exsist. I would have done anything to see this band play a show but alas I missed all the less than 10 shows they played. And the last package started in Hong Kong went to Denmark then to New Jersey before finally coming to me. Its a set of ten Lego men. Yeah I know I am a dork.

Lego Men

A better picture of all my new Lego friends.

Today In The Mail: I Don't Feel I Blend

Sometimes when I first hear a band I latch on hard, Tears Of Frustration is one of those bands. From the first time I heard them I was hooked. Patriotic hardcore, with leans to youth crew, old school and even Oi! (Aka the perfect band for me). This record was snaked away from me out of a distro forever ago by Reflects singer Tall Rob, but the day of my last Cleveland trip one popped up on ebay for buy now of $5. I could not pass it up. Now I'm only missing a 7" comp and one more split to have all their vinyl releases.


Tears Of Frustration - No Retreat No Defeat (Out Of 1000) (Age Of Venus Records)

The other stuff in the pictures are things I have picked up at Urban Outfitters in the last week (minus a great shirt my girlfriend got me). They are a Fred Perry Wallet, two Bamboozoo toys (Kidrobot) and a Wind Up Owl (Nathan Jurevicuis).

I Wish This Was Seamless

One of my most recent purchases Smorkin Labit 10-inch (Kidrobot X Kozik). My toy obsession is slowly being fed by Rivet Gallery (Columbus, Ohio's best stop for designer toys). I am very pro-distractions as of late.
