Day: 854
Shirt: the Offspring - Self Titled Alien Album
Color:  Black
Brand: Tultex Cotton
Source: I know a lot of you will probably laugh at this and not give it a second thought.  but this Offspring record was fucking good.  it was about 5 years before Smash came out and along with Rancid  and Green day started the beginning of th eEnd for Punk Ruck underground.  soon everyone would know Gilmans greatest secrets, Warp Tour would become a gross music staple and your mom would want to listen to that Green day song and sing along.

BUT in 1989 the Offspring were a bit more raw and defintly had a unique sound that gravitated you towards them.  the production was super raw, trebly, loud and fast.  much like any good punk record sounded at the time.  

It makes me laugh when you look back at times.  here buy a shirt ill tell you what color is it maybe some ink, but that is all i will give you for $8  you love the band right, so you don’t give a shit.  you will take what you can get.  yeah ill order your 7" that is probably out of print already , but you have my money now so send me anything….yeah those were the days.  

So this record i believe was limited to 5K copies.  i had one. i loved it. i even recorded it on to CD at one point in case anything happened to it. they ended up releasing the record and cutting the last track “Kill the President” cause ohhhh it was too controversial.  come the fuck on…that was some major label pressure bullshit right there.  especially with G Bush in office.  luckily for me i still have my CD version with the real recording and real track listing.  you can listen to this remastered bastard version
