Born Without a Face – Michigan Hardcore Given the Deluxe Treatment
Ever see a box set so amazing, and for a band you might have never heard of, that you need to know how it happened?
That’s the case with Born Without A Face – the complete sound recordings box set: 1984-1986.
To call this set obsessive and complete is kind of an understatement because big labels don’t treat major bands this well.
The set features an artfully handmade box with a magnetic clasp. The band’s name is silk screened across the front. Inside there are three posters, a sticker, 1-12” 33 1/3rpm record featuring the “Freakshow” album, 1-12” 45rpm featuring “The Unbecoming” & “Worship” eps and a CD collecting all the tracks from the vinyl. The inside of a box includes another art piece, some notes and is part of a hand numbered edition of 300.
From a re-issue standard, the vinyl is beyond 180 gram (so called “audiophile editions”). These records are 210 gram. They are thick like dinner plates or, probably more accurately, 78rpms which the label design seems to invoke.

“Praise Bob” for the Amino Acids – the Band that Wouldn’t Die!
The spokespeople for The Amino Acids are liars, cheats and charlatans – and I couldn’t be happier about it!
See, back in late 2010, two of the men possessed by the surf-punk aliens, took off their masks, talked to the media and said the Aminos were done. They said the band was played out. In about a decade, the group managed to hammer their sound into our heads through about 500 shows.
So, I talked to Dave Taylor & Scott Boyink – so sexy, just like “Star Search” spokesmodels – about “the end” of the Aminos. The story worked out so well that some fellow journalists give me a few awards for it. Thanks, guys!

European Street Art & Graffiti by Invader | Clet Abraham & More
I snapped these while on vacation in Poland, London, Ireland and France in October. Some artists spotted were Invader & Clet Abraham. Very cool paste-ups, a crocheted bicycle, and random other pieces found. I was surprised at the lack of street art in London. I guess that has to do with the CCTV’s on every single inch of the country.
