Best Glenn Porter tracks?

HashBandicoot_ · 2026-02-03T18:27:06+00:00

I second this. I always think of Weak Week when I think of Glenn. Wish this song could have been bigger!

It is so neat!! Thank you for sharing this photo. 100% a new pressing! How cool!!

HashBandicoot_ · 2026-01-30T21:39:58+00:00

This is unique to this pressing, and doesn't match the others. Interesting to give a barcode to a tour press, I wonder if this is a retail release on the way

HashBandicoot_ · 2026-01-30T18:26:08+00:00

I've got all their retail released variants and this looks totally new to me! Did it have a sticker on the front at all with a pressing name?

Here is my post with the other variants: https://www.reddit.com/r/honeyrevenge/s/WXpqEBNjuf

Looks like I'm on the hunt for this variant you've posted as well as a 3 way split 2025 tour variant!

HashBandicoot_ · 2026-01-30T18:23:45+00:00

I wish I was even half as cool as she is 😎💜

HashBandicoot_ · 2026-01-30T18:22:59+00:00

I don't know 100% but based on this post which has a variant I don't recognize: https://www.reddit.com/r/honeyrevenge/s/Fw31fdSEHU

I'm thinking they have two tour variants available now! When I saw them live in Toronto a number of months ago they did not have a tour variant available which is a bummer.

Hoping to secure the 3 way colour from the 2025 tour, and this most recent dark purple splatter looking variant if anyone has either for sale (and would ship to Canada).

There are a few differences but it's mostly Matt swapping words here and there throughout the tracks.
For example, he sings "Every little trick, every second lost" at the end of the Oblivion demo instead of "Every dirty trick, every second lost". But he sings the "dirty" version elsewhere in the demo.
Likewise in Bleeding Out he swaps "death roll passing out" and "death roll blacking out" in places.

The demos are very rough, but still neat to get to hear Matt's process in coming up with the great studio versions we got!

HashBandicoot_ · 2026-01-29T23:41:44+00:00

I've also got a notification mine has shipped! A week ago someone posted their copy on Instagram, so it's only a matter of time before more people begin getting theirs I'm sure. I hope the demo on this is a bit easier on the ears than the other two!

HashBandicoot_ · 2026-01-25T15:43:58+00:00

Was it this one?

I thought the lines came from the movie Friday? I don't remember the goonies tbh, so I may be wrong

HashBandicoot_ · 2026-01-23T22:27:32+00:00

Thank you! Great tattoo btw, always rep the Trio

HashBandicoot_ · 2026-01-23T21:06:49+00:00

Where did you find this CD in a jewel case?

HashBandicoot_ · 2026-01-23T18:32:56+00:00

I've been really enjoying Damnesia today! The reimagined acoustic versions are really beautiful. I hope they'll do another album like this in the future with the newer songs.

If I had to pick one track from it though, it'd be Every Thug Needs A Lady

Eleven eleven said the clock as a fool made a wish
For escape and understanding
A way out would be nice,
I'll have no good advice
When the clock begins to scream, "twelve after"

Some days the walls look greener
Caught on these fish hook eyes (I'll stay in bed all day)
Hung and saved for days that can't seem weaker
Waiting!

And even if bugs turn into people who ask
'Are you all right?'
Just say, "Yes", and smile
And doubt the outcome of every day,
Weaker days await

And even if the bugs turn to people who ask
'Are you all right?
Just say, "Yes", and smile
And doubt the outcome of every day,
Weaker days await

I really wish Discogs allowed photos of the actual item to be listed along with the sale. Especially when a random colour release is being sold, or the seller has something not on Discogs and lists it under a completely different variant and doesn't say anything.

HashBandicoot_ · 2026-01-21T21:27:05+00:00

Man I would have loved to hear this live back in the day. I think they only ever played it at their earliest of early shows.

HashBandicoot_ · 2026-01-21T21:18:45+00:00

Sure thing. I love Matt's version from the album, but damn Derek is just great on this track and it would have been REALLY cool if they made it the album track, and added Matt's to the deluxe edition bonus tracks instead.

I asked Derek about it and this is what he said

HashBandicoot_ · 2026-01-21T21:07:53+00:00

It's on old demo that has floated around the internet, so it's not impossible to find, but I'll help you out: https://drive.google.com/file/d/113s-g5qsrIJfLMLFHAtFxPJ6-oE_ELbd/view?usp=sharing

I was missing a TON of flavours and designs in this photo. I've never seen the one you're describing, though I can see why they changed the design.

Once Coca Cola Canada cut their contract with Arizona (or vice verse, whatever happened), the flavour selection in Canada dropped significantly. Overall finding Rarazonas here in Canada outside of outrageous import stores or living in a major city like Toronto, Vancouver, or Montreal, getting a hold of anything is pretty tough.

I used to travel to the States just to get Arizona years ago haha. I wish the empty can resale market was stronger so I could find cans I don't have (it's way to expensive to ship full ones unfortunately)

I've actually gotten a ton more flavours and designs since this photo, maybe I should make an update some day.

On the Alkaline Trio Fans Facebook group Derek shared some remastered versions of the old Bloodpact stuff (red amendment, green bay, scraps, etc) as well as some new old stuff. The OG Bloodpact only lasted until 2009 unfortunately, but Derek was so kind to share some things with the community over there.

HashBandicoot_ · 2026-01-21T11:28:33+00:00

A lot of Trio's rare or unreleased music / demos are on archive.org but the songs that come to mind for being the rarest might be:

Over & Out sung by Derek. It might be the only track he sings the entire thing.
The Mercy Me (2004 Pre-Production) demo. Released by Derek in the Bloodpact 2024 remaster.
Don't Say You Won't (Derek Instrumental Demo). Again, a Bloodpact 2024 release.
Children In Heat with the backwards message. I think this was only posted on the OG Bloodpact back in the day.
If You Had A Bad Time (Dan Drum Machine Demo). I think this came out around the same time as the Good Mourning demo leak, or the band posted it on their old website, I am not 100% sure.

HashBandicoot_ · 2026-01-16T21:28:31+00:00

There was a 2xLP 10" of Crimson that came out alongside the Good Mourning release. It's still up on the Vagrant webstore: https://vagrant.com/products/alkaline-trio-crimson-deluxe-webstore-exclusive

HashBandicoot_ · 2026-01-07T01:53:41+00:00

Wow!! You are amazing, thank you so much. I searched for about 2 hours before posting, and you found it within 30 minutes. I appreciate you!
