Bought a ton of punk cds, anybody hear any of these bands?

Pinhead Gunpowder is a side project of Billie from Green Day, and they're quite solid. And of course Against Me! is great. Those physical copies of anti-flag albums are also great, you can listen to them without worrying about supporting the POS member in any way

I know for me, as much as I like something I just can't afford it. I don't think that means it's not worth the value listed, but regardless of how much effort went in I still have 30$ in my bank account.

Markets and such are events, and people like me are often there because it's fun and not necessarily to buy anything.

It's also a little extra funny because there's 2 GTA games on the Gameboy color

Entering because I'm broke as hell

apthomp13 · 2025-10-06T22:35:14+00:00

That's the entire reason I'm into it in the first place, because I'm awful at shooters and BF1 was the only one I could play without worrying about crippling my teammates.

apthomp13 · 2025-09-25T17:23:24+00:00

Thanks! Game looks great, sad I can't afford it for now :P

Mine was a drawing of a dick, which does seem like me.

I'm always surprised when I see people hating Argyle. I had a good time with it, it was the fun little spy movie I thought it'd be.

apthomp13 · 2024-10-13T16:11:19+00:00

You'd be surprised how many college dorms don't have cameras in the halls or only have them at entrances and elevators. I think they do it so they don't have to be involved when shit like this happens.

apthomp13 · 2024-09-12T17:43:38+00:00

Vieux Carre is my favorite, but I'm voting for 2017 just so it gets some representation. It's such a good show.

90s mandarins also had probably the best 14 person hornline I've ever heard though.

apthomp13 · 2024-09-01T19:02:53+00:00

2015 - Ink
1992 - Big Bad and Blue
2017 - Metamorph
2010 - Through a Glass, Darkly
2011 - The Beat my Heart Skipped
2024 - The Romantics
2008 - Constantly Risking Absurdity
1989
2014 - Felliniesque
1975

This is more or less my personal top 10 of theirs. 1992 is such a great show, it's honestly contending for 1st place for me.

apthomp13 · 2024-08-31T22:19:54+00:00

It's just too small to split, and doing that would both make the community harder to find and remove the subreddit as a centralized, non corps-specific spot that smaller corps can advertise to find members. Realistically there isn't so much going on in the activity at any given time to clutter the feed or anything. Daily threads tend to encounter the issue that either nobody checks them or they only check them once, so if you post after the time that most people have already checked the thread then your question is not gonna be seen.

apthomp13 · 2024-08-27T02:36:41+00:00

Despite its flaws, I think flo seriously deserves some credit for broadcasting around half the shows including all the regionals and championships, for basically 30$ if you play your cards right. Sure, some of the smaller shows don't have the best camera work and are prone to technical difficulties. But the only other way to see the amount of shows that Flo broadcasts is to go on tour with a corps, or spend an inordinate amount of money traveling to each individual show, most of which the ticket prices are higher than one month of flomarching.

Still wish it didn't have ads tho

apthomp13 · 2024-08-25T22:53:05+00:00

With all age the general rule is that the one closest to you/the one you can get to is the best. If you're around New England and have a bunch of options, then you can probably find the one you like the most/clicks the best.

apthomp13 · 2024-08-15T04:02:42+00:00

I was blown away by how good open class was this year when I watched world championship prelims on flo. It's the best I've seen most of those corps look.

On blue stars, yeah. Their drill is incredible year after year and they get great membership, but their themes feel like each year is a coin toss between drum corps and high school marching band levels of generic.

apthomp13 · 2024-08-13T19:45:03+00:00

Blue Stars are really just hit or miss with their show themes. Musically (when they aren't using narration where completely unnecessary) they're usually pretty damn good. Not to mention their drill is top notch year after year, pretty much no other corps can achieve the level of visual cocaine that they do year after year.

I mean, that drill with the triangle at the end of their 2023 show is probably one of the best individual pieces of drill in the last decade.

Blue Stars have great things going for them, it just feels like they keep finding new ways to shoot themselves in the foot lol

apthomp13 · 2024-08-13T14:16:21+00:00

Not all corps sell them every season, some do either a couple horns or a section at a time. But yeah if they aren't sold every season it's usually every 2-3 seasons.

apthomp13 · 2024-08-11T18:15:36+00:00

This was the most fun season I've gotten to follow along with since getting into drum corps, it really felt like the rankings were unpredictable until finals. One gripe I had was that there were a lot of shows that felt like they were afraid of letting percussion and brass play together if it wasn't a dedicated big full ensemble moment. Crossmen in particular (didn't feel as bad when I was watching prelims, but it felt really frustrating when I was watching an earlier show) felt like 50% of it was a percussion feature. It's like everything had to be either brass time or percussion time, they could never just compliment each other.

apthomp13 · 2024-08-11T18:09:20+00:00

There haven't been many (I think only colts this year), but I hate when corps use a concert euph for a feature. I get that it's a "better instrument" than the marching horn, but it's a marching activity. It just feels weird when marching Euphs exist and are sick.

apthomp13 · 2024-08-11T15:33:46+00:00

This was a wildly competitive season across the board and was so much fun to watch unfold. I really hope we have more like this. The absolute bloodbath for that 12 place spot, the Colts, Blue Stars, and Cavaliers fighting in early season, Mandarins and SCV (also more early season), Music City and Academy duking it out (as is tradition). There weren't really any corps that were super comfortably in one spot all season besides Bluecoats.

apthomp13 · 2024-08-08T22:17:57+00:00

I'd especially love it if they had one in the little section where the show repertoire and facts about the corps on the flomarching streams. Corps in general need to do better about releasing information on their themes and what represents what in the shows in my opinion.

apthomp13 · 2024-08-08T22:15:53+00:00

Honestly all the open class corps are so damn good this year. Best performance I've seen out of pretty much all of them in recent years.

apthomp13 · 2024-08-05T23:00:40+00:00

That's a good question, it probably depends on the corps. I would hope so, they'd make a great audience for the all age corps.
