I love that new reissues of "Origin of the Feces" are using the Peter Steele goatse cover.

I thought it was pretty solid too.

Been a GWAR fan for years...Another album I just purchased as well--Draconian "Turning Season Within"...It is pretty good, but my favorite Draconian album will always be "A Rose For The Apocalypse"

Although, I too love both Draconian albums you mentioned, my opinion is that Arcane Rain Fell was their "Lightning in a Jar" and they have never topped it since. That album is just brilliant. I did grow to accept and eventually like Heike's vocals on the last 2 records, but I am more than excited to see Lisa rejoin the band. My hopes are to see this band return to form and quite possibly give us that album that does indeed top Arcane Rain Fell.

Grabbed some music at a local show last night.

I've needed to pick this up in some format forever. I keep meaning to track down the DVD to replace my downloaded copy. Amazing live show.

Went to get something else but I came back with…

Smashing Pumpkins - Siamese Dream 2xLP re-release. I have been wanting this on vinyl forever so I grabbed an unofficial release at this same store a year ago or so, but I had to have this as its my favorite alt rock album of the 90’s.

Sting - Fortress Around Your Heart/If You Love Somebody Set them Free 7” single. As a fan of The Police I do like some of Sting’s solo work. Especially these two songs and saw it for a couple bucks. I guess I’ll start collecting 7” singles now…
