We have a local punk (read: political metal) store but they won't carry any of this sort of stuff. I found the final Ergs 12" there and asked them to order 20/20 and...nothing!<br />As to Houseboat (originally "Are you into Metal" was destined for my best songs of 2009 post but then the album just grew on me. It helps that I was 100% let down by the 2nd Steinways album, I suppose...<br />Speaking of my best songs of 2009 post, that's where I threw the Radio Faces (It was a tough call since the records are of pretty equal quality.)<br /><br />Mr. Sauve<br />Glad to turn anyone onto these album and thanks for the entertaining mod-a-day feature!jeffenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05015674620176399988noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4191686244361274747.post-26495323860402764102010-01-03T00:54:41.873-06:002010-01-03T00:54:41.873-06:00Wow, what a great list.

You might find the Ergs, and maybe one or two stragglers (I think I saw the Groucho Marxists "Manifesto" LP at a store once...), but that's about it.<br /><br />That being said, the Used Kids record is pretty good (check out the Radio Faces LP that came out on Art of the Underground, it's Nato from Used Kids and I think it's even better), though I'm not that into the House Boat record... and I'm a huge Steinways fan... the recording on it is too slick, the guitars don't buzz anymore except on a couple of tracks ("Are You Into Metal" and the one that goes, "everyday I wake up crying like a dumb little bitch")...Brushbackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14439601217855895036noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4191686244361274747.post-4194360529964108312010-01-01T23:35:13.467-06:002010-01-01T23:35:13.467-06:00There is no store in Winnipeg that stocks any new ...There is no store in Winnipeg that stocks any new pop-punk.
