Again, it has been a little while since I last uploaded some good hardcore to rock out to. So, to make up for lost time, here is one double LP and two regular LP compilations filled with some awesome songs. The Vinyl Retentive compilation is truly amazing.
Tagged Compilations, hardcore, Music, Very Small Records, Vinyl-to-mp3… even though some time ago, I wrote about “selling” my hardcore “soul.”
Although, I guess that by posting this here for free, maybe I’m now giving away my hardcore soul. Hmm. Not sure.
Anyway, here are two cool hardcore comps: Give Me Back and Toxic Waste on Yer Plate. The first is from an LP put [...]
After quite some time, I’ve decided to get around to taking some stuff off my minidiscs again, converting them to mp3s, and uploading some more music. This time, I’ve decided to revisit some of the cool stuff that John Lyons used to release. (John’s much too busy doing much cooler things these days, so he [...]

Ok. I know this breaks a lot of the rules in terms of “blogging etiquette” but I don’t really care. I got the mp3s posted here from two different sites, but for the sake of having three John Bender LPs in one location, I thought that I’d re-post them here.

Viva Los Angeles (II)
I was able to take advantage of some quiet time in the office and upload all of Viva Los Angeles (II) a couple of days ago. So, instead of uploading half now and half later, here’s the entire compilation.

Viva Los Angeles (I)
This is one of those cool random compilations that I picked up when I was in my “I’m going to collect everything that Savage Republic is on” phase (which, by the way, is probably a lost cause, so I don’t recommend trying it…. It would be like me trying to collect all [...]
The Fruit of the Original Sin
I’m not too sure what to say about this release. It is one of the more random things that I ran across in G’pa’s record collection. Over the years it has totally grown on me, and as far as artsy compilations go, I really enjoy this one.
Not a perfect transfer. [...]
John Bender—Pop Surgery
Well, judging by the number of downloads of the first John Bender album that I posted, I figured I would go ahead and post the other LP that I have. Unfortunately, I don’t have anything else by him… but if someone else does, please pass it on. I’d be more than happy to [...]
Mark Lane—Who’s Really Listening?
Among the mass of records in my grandfather’s music library, there was a record by Mark Lane with a relatively local address (I was in Santa Barbara, the record label was in Ventura—just a half hour away). I thought I would check it out and see what it was all about, and [...]
