Blacklisted/Black History Month Appreesh!

Hello world! I have come out of hibernation. My old computer decided to pass on so I have been having technology withdrawals especially with all these sweet records coming in and having no one to show them to. I hope you enjoy!

So I got my 50 lions pre-order from SFU and when I got the package it felt kinda light considering I ordered all 3 colors. Thinking of how they made the records this light and what kinda of sleeves/covers the records where packaged in, I opened the mailer like it was christmas morning only to find one lonely record. I immediately got on my computer (before it passed away) and sent Dave (Six Feet Under Records/Blacklisted) an email letting him know that I only received one out of the three records I ordered. He let me know that he didn't package all of them up and that he would send the other two records to me immediately. Dave = awesome dude! And here they are.

50 Lions - "Where Life Expires" - Neon Yellow/Black Swirl w/White Splatter (100)

50 Lions - "Where Life Expires" - Army Green w/Black Swirl (200)

50 Lions - "Where Life Expires" - Clear w/Blue/Green/White/Orange Splatter (500)

I was definitely impressed with these colors. Especially the first and third colors, super unique and crazy looking. 

I got my Not Sorry pre-order a couple days ago. Definitely in love with this band right now. And definitely gonna try and add more of their variants to my collection.

Not Sorry - "Moving On" - Red (500)

Another band I have just been getting into is The Rival Mob. I don't know why I haven't listened to these guys a long time ago but I'm glad I do now cause they are awesome. I hope to pick up some more stuff from them.

The Rival Mob - "Raw Life" - Black (700)

After all the delays and all the anticipation, I finally received my Fire & Ice pre-order. This band is one of my favorite bands right now, I can't get enough. I hope this band keeps putting out awesome releases.

Fire & Ice - "Gods & Devils" - Silver (100)

Fire & Ice - "Gods & Devils" - Clear w/ Red & Silver Splatter (300)

Fire & Ice - "Gods & Devils" - Black (600)

Here are some recent Blacklisted records I've got, nothing special just some odds and ends.

Blacklisted - "Demo" - Black (890)

Blacklisted - "Live From Nowhere USA" - New Cover - Blue (425)

Blacklisted - "Our Youth Is Wasted" - Red (200)

Now last but not least. THE MOST RARE Mongoloids in existence. I'm probably the only person who has this many mongoloids records and I know for sure who has this record.........

The Mongoloids - "S/T" A/V TRAIN - Gold w/Record Release Cover (#2/3!!!!!)

This cover is the same as the record release cover but when Greg (The Mongoloids) was telling me about it he said " they ordered 100 copies and received 103." So they sold 100 with regular covers and they had 3 extras, One of which is in my possession. The other two belong to Greg (The Mongoloids) and Bob Shedd (Jersey Shore Straight Edge). As you can see it is marked everywhere with "2/3" so as to save the confusion.

To see one of the biggest Mongoloids collections in the world go to these sites:

I also just received my Blacklisted - "Eccentrichine" print today. Now I am just waiting on the 7"s and also another Blacklisted record to complete my HTHLTG collection ;)  My print is #'d  82/103.

Thanks for reading and stay tuned for my uncontrollable loot.

To Be Continued...............

One of the Best Days of '09

Holy smokes it was good day new incoming records that arrived and new records ordered. check this!

I really wish though that people would FULLY describe their records and the condition that they're in because I paid 25 for this record and the top of the sleeve is unglued. If I would have been informed of this I only would've paid 20, maybe even 15 dollars for it. So now I have to carefully glue it back together. Fantastic.

Blacklisted - "Our Youth Is Wasted" WAN002 - Black (363)

Blacklisted - "Our Youth Is Wasted" WAN002 - Black w/Preorder Cover (#19/138)

Record is Flawless!!!!!!!!

Kids Like Us / The Mongoloids - "Split" 7" DON015 - TEST PRESS - Black (???)

Their isnt any labeling or stamping on the sleeve or record so I played like 30 seconds of the A side to make sure it was legitimate.

Kids Like Us VS. The Mongoloids - "Split" 7" GJR001 - TEST PRESS (#7/10)

Test Presses were given to me by Greg Falchetto (lead singer of The Mongoloids).

Thanks Greg for hooking it up!!!!

And what made today twice as good was the new Blacklisted album was released in the Deathwish E-Store. I picked up all three copies so I was pretty stoked on that. If you haven't picked up a copy of the new BL album, you probably should go to http://www.deathwishinc.com/ and get you some!!!!!
