Some more comps and a couple I put together

 So I am starting off with a comp I put together that I handed out at a show my friend BIG Dave did at Jerry's Pizza called BAKERSFIELD ROCKS AGAINST RACISM and I put a 1 song by the bands that played , 1 band I wish I could have taken off the comp (but I had already had them made) was Serpent's Tongue because they didn't bother showing up or even contacting the promoter and the excuse was that they forgot about the show , even though a band member was posting about the show 3 days earlier.  



2019 - Love Music, Hate Racism                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                    Next comps up are from the the 80's and introduced a bunch of new bands to many many people and I think many of us had them or had a copy of a copy of a copy B.C.T.

A BUNCH OF COMPS

 I know I haven't been posting that much on here or there's big gaps in between, I've been dealing with a lot and my depression has been bad lately (well it's always pretty bad during the holidays) but this year it's been bad along with  the pain in my lower back (bulging disc/herniated disc/slipped disc)whatever they're calling it they haven't done a damn thing to help me, and the nerve damage/neuropathy in my feet and legs SUCKS , it's getting where it's hurts to walk and move around but I try to get out and do shit. 9 fucking years of dealing with these problems and all the Dr's and pain management want to do is just really prescribe me more pain pills and then still fighting disability for 9 years to finally get it.  So you can see where a part of my depression and frustration is coming from, so to get back into doing the blog I'm starting off with some comps (and these are just a small few that I have) these are some good comps and from different countries so there is a variety of styles of music in them and I hope you enjoy them and possibly find a new band to enjoy.

Thrasher Skate Rock Comps

 

I Had gone down to Dave's Skate in Ventura to get a new deck and wheels and in the glass case he has wheels , trucks , stickers and that day was some tapes and the one that caught my attention was this 
and I didn't really know who any of these bands were at the time because I had barely started getting into punk rock and I didn't really know of many bands , so to see this and that all the bands were skaters or had members who skated made me want to get it even more and I think I paid 6 or 7 dollars for it . When I got home to put my board together (I lived in Ojai about a 30 minute bus ride from Ventura) I immediately popped the tape into the tape player and pressed play and was floored by all the different styles and sound of the bands .                                                                                                                                        The volume 1 -SKATE ROCK came out in 1983 and in 2008 Volume 13 - DOWN FOR LIFE was released , yep 13 of them but to me the first 3 Volumes are the absolute best (for me anyways) I heard a few others of the comps over the years but the just didn't wow me as much as those original 3 and I wish I still had the tapes but they wore out a long time ago, but at least one thing I got that was put out by Thrasher Magazine in the 80's (and again something I bought at Dave's Skates) was Thrasher Comics (Tales To Drive You Up The Wall) issue No. 1 
and believe or not, that I still have it, well onto some music that us from the 80's grew up with and skated to.         
Vol 1 - Skate Rock  
Vol 2 - Blazing Wheels And Barking Trucks  
Vol 3 - Wild Riders Of Boards  
Vol 4 - Smash  
Vol 5 - Born To Skate  
Vol 6 - Road Rash   
Vol 7 - Noise Forest  
Vol 9 - Pawns Of The Apocalypse  
Vol 10 - Parental Advisory Explicit Sk8rok  
Vol 11 - Crank It Up  

Vol 12 - Eat The Flag  

Vol 13 - Down For Life









                                                            



                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                          I know Vol 8 - Pierced Ears is missing , I've been looking all over for it and I just can't find it anywhere so just deal with it , there is still a hell of a lot of good music/bands on these comps and in the words of the Spermbirds  MY GOD RIDES A SKATEBOARD
