Thank you Andreas! But our drummer is in another band

Had a weird experience on ROD forum recently, a regular poster there that I've never spoken to/interacted with and don't know messaged me as I'm Looking for a copy of the Genocide Shrines - Manipura imperial LP. He was like "Hey dude, I'm going to be spending time with the band soon and I'll check for you of they have spare copies" I was like sweet thanks. And I get all these unprompted messages being like "hey I'm with the band now, got you a copy" "hey do you want it signed" "Heading home will message when I'm home" "Home now waiting for mailers and get you a shopping quote..etc" like all this information in different messages detailing the whole process that I never asked him in the first place, just thought he was being cool. And now when I'm like how much do I owe you and he's just ghosted any message I've sent him over the last 8 weeks while continuing to post daily    Bizarre.

I have a right story about a lad like this but the long and short was that I had to walk from Rathmines to The Point and me father got to see Metallica for free so not the worst result.

On a more similar note there's a lad in the nin forum sending me a copy of The Slip on cd for the last 5 years and I never even wanted it in the first place

Random punk thought: for every brilliant Clash song there must be two or three stinkers. Jesus, they clog their records with a lot of crap.

That's hilarious, fair play to the girls for sticking around.

Really like a good chunk of the clash's songs. But couldnt agree more. Tried to listen to sandanista the whole way through a few weeks back. Had only heard a few tracks from it. Fuck it's a slog. Turned it off after 40 mins. Actually put me off listening to the good stuff for a while.

There's a local black/death band here called Meth Christ which I always thought was an odd choice, of all the words in the world and with 2 of the bigger underground bands from NZ being Meth Drinker and Witchrist, it just kind of sounds like what they would call their Split 7"

Here's another random punk thought: The Damned were a far better band than their more popular peers like The Clash and the Sex Pistols.

Which album do I start with with The Damned?

Machine Gun Etiquette is their best in my opinion. It's poppy but still punk as fuck, and Captain Sensible plays solos like he's in an NWOBHM band.

Damned Damned Damned is great as well.

Deadly, I'll check those out. Cheers.
