+ TOP THINGS OTHER PEOPLE DID IN 2008
Canadian Rifle - HEALTH EP. I don't know if this came out in 2007 or something, but I didn't hear it 'til 2008.
Friends' new bands. Witches / Little Lungs / Psyched to Die / Loose Tooth / Homewreckers. They done good.
Screaming Females live. I think I saw them like 25 times.
On that note, Marissa Paternoster's artwork, over + over again.
Layla Gibbon's MRR columns.
Raymond Pettibon, the silkscreen cover he did for MRR #304, and his zine, The Major Arteries.
Cynthia's sweets.
ZINES: THE WORST, I Stopped Talking an Hour Ago, SHOTGUN SEAMSTRESS
POSTERS, ARTWORK + TATTOOS by No Guts No Glory. Especially the "MOM, I'M GONNA BE A METALHEAD FOREVER!" print, which is hanging in my living room.
The Ergs! last shows. Plus "Anthem for a New Amanda"
Hunchback + Screaming Females - split 7". So into these Neil Young covers.
Teenage Cool Kids - cassette w/ Queer Salutations CD + Remember Me as a Silhouette 7"
P.S. Eliot! Sweetest girls and seriously, you are missing out if you are not paying attention to this band. They just keep getting better.
Cult Ritual live at a house show at the Fest. Also, the 2nd EP that came out on Youth Attack is pretty great and has some amazing packaging.
I also listened to that dog.'s Retreat from the Sun over and over and over again, but that came out in 1997. And lots of Government Warning.
