Punkrock Record Stores part ii: Poison City Records

Can you tell I'm no longer procrastinating about packing up my worldly possessions in preparation for moving to Melbourne? Now that I'm actually here (or there, depending on how you look at it), I'm procrastinating about all manner of practical things. I could go look for a bed and some furniture, but instead I go looking for vegan breakfast delights, go see Values Here at Next and spend some QT with my laptop haha.

Only 2 more sleeps til Propagandhi! I saw them in Brisbane and I get to see them again on Sunday! seriously, SUCH a good band, apart from the fact that they are quite the munter-magnet. As my friend Alex put it in a text message from the Sydney show "Sydney show is approximately 60% sports munters. Etiquette seems to be if you like the band, throw your beercan. And if you don't, throw two."

Yep pretty much sums it up better than I could put it. But that said, I had SUCH a great time watching them in Brisbane, surrounded by my good pals watching Prop totally kill it, and having an hilarious time watching foolish crowd antics.

I am praying and hoping and crossing my fingers (whatever it takes) that they play "Bringer of Greater Things" from Potemkin City Limits on Sunday night. In a way, I hope they play "Ska Sucks" just cos it would be so hilarious.

So now I bring you Part II from the little series we did on the 4ZZZ Punk Show featuring interviews with people who run punkrock record stores in Australia. The first interview was with Graham who runs Resist Records in Sydney. This one is with Andy who runs Poison City Records in Melbourne.

So like c+p this link into yr browser and then put it in yr ipod and listen to it on yr headphones when yr stuck on a bus/train/tram sometime. Listen carefully, you may even hear your favourite A Death In The Family song
