We thought these were all sold out. We were wrong we just found a box of these while we were unpacking today at the new location. Get them while you can, the person we were getting these from may not be making more.You can order them online over at PhonoSelect.com.
Work on the new location is still proceeding, we’ll get some pictures up in the next few days.
Cheers

IT’S PUNK ROCK MOVIE DAY!
TODAY WE BRING YOU:
URBAN STRUGGLE (1981) - a rad doc about the Cuckoo’s Nest
This one features many of our childhood favorites Black Flag, T.S.O.L, Circle Jerks and some decent interviews. Personally the Circle Jerks footage reminds me why they were one my favorite live bands back in the early 80’s, I know everyone talks about the intensity of Black Flag but I always thought DOA, T.S.O.L. and the Circle Jerks were more fun live.
THE VANDALS LYRICS
“Urban Struggle”
I want to be a Cowboy
I got to be a Cowboy
I’m born to be a Cowboy
I want to be a Cowboy
A Cowboy! Uh-huh
Tonight we’re taking me fast car
Were gonna go down to the Cowboy bar
I’m gonna wait till the club is full
and I’m gonna ride the mechanical bull
Cowboy look is the one I sought
Can’t change now cause the clothes are bought
To be a true Cowboy was my fate
I can’t help it if I was born late
All the Cowgirls in their Stetson hats
and their tight fitting jeans so they don’t look fat
We’ll all be listening to the Cowboy tunes
and stomp around like a bunch of goons
Cowboy look is the one I sought
Can’t change now cause the clothes are bought
To be a true cowboy was my fate
I can’t help it if I was born late
We’re all OD’d on the Olden West
Seein’ who’s Cowboy clothes look the best
I can ride that phony bull so damn good
Sometimes I think I’m Clint Eastwood
Cowboy look is the one I sought
Can’t change now cause the clothes are bought
To be a true cowboy was my fate
I can’t help it if I was born late
I know I’m a Cowboy deep inside
My hat band’s made out of synthetic rattle snake hide
After a couple shit kickin’ Cowboy movies
I’ll check out the Cowboy scene down at Zubie’s
Cowboy look is the one I sought
Can’t change now cause the clothes are bought
To be a true cowboy was my fate
I can’t help it if I was born late
Find out who all fights the best
We start fights with them punks at the Cuckoo’s Nest
Those damn punks are crazy (though)
and meaner than a bull at a rodeo
Cowboy look is the one I sought
Can’t change now cause the clothes are bought
To be a true cowboy was my fate
I can’t help it if I was born late
You call me an Urban clone of course
A big deal if I’m afraid to ride a horse
With a broken nose and a fucked up knee
Maybe this Cowboy scene just ain’t for me
Cowboy look is the one I sought
Can’t change now cause the clothes are bought
To be a true cowboy was my fate
I can’t help it if I was born late
Yee Haw
Cowboy look is the one I sought
Can’t change now cause the clothes are bought
To be a true cowboy was my fate
I can’t help it if I was born late
( I couldn’t make it as a Punker )
