September 2012

September was a great month. I was lucky enough to visit Maui for the first time with my wife, watched the Giants clinch a playoff spot, and I bought some cool records. Creem - LP and Give - Heaven Is Waiting 7". Alot of times when I walk into a record store, I have a certain mood or vibe driving what I pick. This month I walked in with really no idea what direction I was going in. A few months ago I downloaded Creem's four song demo and really dug it. Fast, pissed off punk that reminded me why I was drawn to aggressive music in the first place. I'm totally out of the loop and had no idea that their LP was released about a month ago. I was psyched when I saw it and wasn't let down.Also, the Give 7". Give is a band I've heard a lot about but hadn't heard until I picked this up. I'm glad I got it. Punk/hardcore with awesome stoney riffs. I'm really into the artwork on both records too, which is sweet. 2 for 2 in September.
