Oh. Oh my.

OK...



OK.

When I think about getting pancakes, and as I've explained before I think about it a lot more than I actually do it, I tend to think of it in terms of finding a small local place I've never been to and giving them a chance to wow me with their cakes. Finding hidden treasure. But then IHOP comes out with these and I immediately want to plant myself in the big chain at least three times. Except for the Eggnog, I want all of those. Pumpkin Pancakes. Pecan Pie Pancakes. Gingerbread Pancakes. I could have let the picture speak for itself as to what the flavors were aside from Eggnog, but frankly I wanted to write the words to make them real. These might make the entire Thanksgiving/Christmas season for me.

Slowly, But Surely

So just as a preface, I wrote this draft like a month ago, so just put yerself in that mindset and deal... Here goes...

June 18th... that's when I pre-ordered the Touche Amore full length. Got it yesterday. The same day I learned they are playing somewhere in Fairfax on Nov. 5th. Crazy. I think Vinyl Collective has some sort of wire tap into my brain cause the last pre-order I received from them, As Tall As Lions, got to me on the exact day of their show at Jammin' Java. Talk about some supreme marketing!

...and that wa
s all I wrote... Pretty ground breaking...

So In between my last record purchase post, I went to NC, Seattle, had a wonderful DC record day, got shut out of photoing an As Tall As Lions show, missed the Touche Amore and got the preorder of the new Converge. Besides that, I really haven't been purchasing much online. Don't get me wrong though, I have loaded up plently of carts at Barsuk, Sub Pop, Amazon, and Vinyl Collective only to chicken out at the last second. Someone should create a massive shopping cart program that tallies up the sum of all the shopping carts that you never follow through with so you can then go back to it at a later date when you have the money and then you can just work through them at your leisure. That would be hawt. Here are the records:..
