I'd say 2017 has been the year of the comeback whether it be the likes of Slowdive
Slowdive's album is one of my favourites this year
@alex it's like they had never had that 23 year hiatus.
Definitely. I am kicking myself for not seeing them when they came to Boston last month.
A little over 1 month in my TCB 50's (evening & weekend wear), just after a machine wash/dry. Fading is minimal so far but the texture is really starting to pop after the wash.
@Filthy25ozJunkie:
Music for waiting for UPS to get here.
Obituary has one of the all time best metal guitar tones.
And of course…
@Filthy25ozJunkie:
Me too. Not to get it stuck back in your head but a few years back I actually did a blog post about this song, and all the punk/hc bands covers of it

The In Your Face version is awesome.
I'm not super wowed by the latest season of Curb, but since season 6, I always feel underwhelmed at first but then love them as I revisit them. I don't think it will ever top Seinfeld for me, but Curb is as close as it gets. Not many people can produce a consistent and relevant show over the course of 17 years.
Any of you (UK people especially) ever watch that old show Keeping Up Appearances?
Dwid got his just desserts a a few years later….
Still, early Integrity (and even the first OLC record, oof) hit HARD
Woke up with a bad cold, so called out sick from work. Feeling a little better now, and taking advantage of the beautiful weather with Fig Newton:
The photobucket fiasco is really something else. Everywhere I look I see that horrible placeholder image. Don't know how that idea made it through.
In more random news, I am freezing my ass off in an office with no heat in 50F. Two weeks ago, we were sweltering in an office with no AC when it was 85F. (Dramatic temperature changes = typical boston fall).
Yeah Pats defense hasn't been too hot this season. Anyone doing fantasy this season? I'm 5-0 this season so far, after losing almost every single week last year.
@Filthy25ozJunkie:
I got to see UK's finest crust punk band DOOM tonight at Pittsburgh Skullfest. It was absolutely the best punk show I have ever seen in my entire life! Besides Doom, Siege, Appalachian Terror Unit, and Behind Enemy Lines played. The venue had great sound and acoustics, and there was plenty of room (even though the show was sold out) and had one of the most violent mosh pits I've ever seen. I had a blast.
Doom - Police Bastard is one of my all-time favorite EPs. LIVING IN THE SHADOW OF THEIR UNIFORM FEAR!!!!!
Hello all,
Currently living in Cambridge MA. Been in the boston area for over 13 years. I grew up on Cape Cod so I have appreciated living in an urban environment since then.
New poster here…just sent my payment. Bringing a pair of TCB 50's to the table. Looking forward to getting to know you all and become a member of this community.
Hi everyone,
I joined SUFU in 2012 (same username) and made this account more recently, but was never the most active poster due to a busy (but not always exciting) life. I decided to go for the DWC to get more involved with a community of people with this similar interest, so I'd like to introduce myself here as I plan to post more regularly, especially with updates to the DWC.
I live in Cambridge, MA. The Boston area has so much to offer in terms of culture as well as wonderful outdoor spaces, whether it's parks, the common & public garden, or just streets and neighborhoods. I grew up listening to hardcore punk and playing in bands, and still make an effort to go to shows and am trying to get a new project off the ground.
I love cooking and coffee, beer and red wine. My wife and I both work in education, and have a boston terrier named Fig Newton.
Cheers!
Harry
