hardcore records on ebay — aggregated and examined
The year I moved to Boston was the same year that a big 90’s Straight Edge band from Boston, Ten Yard Fight, played their last show in the city. At that show someone declared today (October 17) National Edge Day. Actually it was my friend Pete who declared it, and the next year the band he was in (In My Eyes) played their last show to repeat the celebration from the year before. Ever since then, there’s been some sort of celebration of… well Straight Edge Hardcore by most of my friends in this city. It usually involves ice cream, crucial records, hooded sweatshirts… To outsiders I understand it makes no sense, but fuck ‘em, some of the most fun times in my life have been spent on those days. I guess it proves nothings better than good friends, and knowing that you’re better than everyone who drinks beer for fun (duh). I was going to post a variety of pictures of classic SE records, but as it turned out they’re all of the NY/CT variety. Boston only had like 4 or 5 notable Straight Edge bands until the 90’s though so I don’t exactly have a lot to work with. Happy Edge Day to all, and to all a good mosh.
I was going to post that today is also Bob Mould’s birthday, but that was yesterday. Not that he ever had anything to do with straight edge…
Isn’t there a version of Wolfpack w/ Husker Du on backups? That counts.
But really, how great is it that that one dude got the Can’t Close My Eyes 7″ signed by Porcell THIS YEAR and then sold it. Was he thinking “yeah, this’ll up the value for sure!”
Is Porcell still a Krishna? I still have my Shelter first 7″. Wonder if that’s worth anything…
If you want to talk about straight/non-straight mashups, YOT once were put on the same bill as The Mentors in Denver… I shit you not. I don’t know how I missed that one, but my friend Bob told me all about it.
