Duchamp is selling a Mind Over 4 shirt. This is the second time he has listed it. It’s legit, and cheap. Don’t be a fool, scoop this up!
Vision Of Disorder – Long Island Hardcore Tee
I recall seeing VOD at the Espresso Bar in Worcester back in 1997. It was quite the lineup, a pretty typical E-Bar gig, really. Shed, fortydaysrain, A Day In The Life, and V.O.D. I was there to support my friends band, fortydaysrain. They had just got their demo out and people were really starting to get into. They were psyched to be playing with the likes of VOD who were pretty popular at the time in our area. The place was packed, and kids went nuts for VOD. Even with that stupid pole in the middle of the stage. Ugh, stupid pole.
If you didn’t know, VOD has reunited and is playing shows again. In fact, they were headlining the second (or third?) leg of the 10 For 10 tour. I had the chance to (almost) catch them in Worcester again. It was a little surprising to see their name in big letters on the Palladium marquee. Instead of playing a 200 person club like the E-Bar (of course, now closed), they were headlining the downstairs of the Palladium, which probably maxes around 1500-2000 kids. Maybe more. Bane played before them on that Sunday night. Kids were going ape. I even witnessed a big circle pit. The crowd was smaller than 1500, that’s certain. I’d guess closer to 900. It wasn’t empty, but it wasn’t busting at the seams, either. Bane finished their set and the place emptied like someone turned it on its side. I took off too. I had work the next day afterall.
A friend asked why I was leaving. I told him I was spent after 9 bands and 6 hours of gigging. He complained I had no “long island hardcore pride.” That’s probably true. I’d have to ask someone who stuck around, but I’m guessing it was a ghost moshpit for VOD. I think I can guarantee there were more kids moshing to them in the cramped E-Bar than the entire Palladium that night. Too bad. I’m sure Travis from This Is Hell did some heavy pitting for them. ;)
Pushead Hyperstoic #4 and #5
Not seen on ebay too often. We have two copies of the highly sought after Hyperstoics. Usually available only through the Pushead fan cub. These 7″x7″ booklets are filled with various illustrations from Pushead’s past. A bunch of punk/HC covers are always included as well as other lesser know illustrations. Each edition is signed and numbered by Pushead himself. These paricular issues come wih a Pushead fanclub postcard as well.The first time I ever saw one was on the Revelation tour in 1998. I met up with IME in Cali and they had just went to Pushead’s house the day before and Luke had a copy of Hyperstoic #2. I was stoked on it. These books rule and fit perfectly in your 7″ box with your records.

Minor Threat – Black Sheep Tee
This is a staple that every hardcore kid should own. When Hoover was running for president in the mid 20s, he promised there would be a “chicken in every pot and a car in every garage.” He should have also amended that statement by including “a minor threat tshirt in every closet.”
This isn’t an old tee. It’s not vintage early 80s garb. But it is the same design (well almost. There is a lot more black in the sheep of the newer version) you’ll spot in that most famous Public Enemy image.
If it’s good enough for Flava Flav, you know it’s good enough for you. No giant clock piece required.
