NotCommon records....the store?[views:9203][posts:45]________________________________________ [Jan 29,2004 10:10am - Joe/NotCommon ""] As some of you may or may not have heard, I am attempting to open a record store in JP center. The loan submission has already been turned into Citizen's bank and the SBA and I have never been so anxious about anything in my life. If this happens I want all local bands to come down to put their stuff on consignment with me, we will also have a bin for free stuff, if you want to stick in samplers or demos or stickers etc. Also, local artists, we want your stuff to sell as well. If this happens it will be the best thing ever for me, because it will become my only job and will allow me to work on NotCommon the label and promotion company all day long as well. Obviously I won't just be selling metal, so if you know anyone in punk bands, folk bands, emo, indie rock, art/experimental, etc tell them to come down. And anyone who is into any of that stuff, please shop here so I can stay in business. I won't be selling any mainstream bullshit. If it happens I will also be running CDr duplication, T shirt printing, stickers and poster orders from here. Wish me luck! |

| _______________________________________ [Jan 29,2004 8:11pm - Joe/NotCommon ""] i will keep prices as reasonable as possible, but coming there will be fun so it will be worth the extra dollar or whatever to shop here |
| __________________________________ [Jan 29,2004 8:19pm - Overdose ""] I'm sure it will be.... as you're always a source of amusement. |

| ________________________________________ [Jan 30,2004 2:30am - JonahBloodbath ""] Even though you for some reason have a problem with my band, I would love to support a new indi-music store. The first record on my label will be done in a week or two and it would be great to have it sold.. |
| _______________________________________ [Jan 30,2004 8:31am - Joe/NotCommon ""] I could know as soon as today, but probably more like Tuesday I will know. What is Kayo Dot? What band are you in? |
| ________________________________ [Jan 30,2004 8:40am - George ""] as long as we're all living we're all dying(in response to jonah) |
| _______________________________________ [Jan 30,2004 8:41am - Joe/NotCommon ""] oh, well someone in your band started talking shit about bane of existence, random acts of violence, cryptic warning and paranoid and that is where my problem stems from because I am a big fan and friend of all 4 of those bands |

But isn't that what the lambgoat board is for? Anyway, he didn't mean any harm...even if he wears pink socks.. In anycase, boston needs a heavy music oriented cd store...i'm glad someone is working on that.. |
| ______________________________________ [Feb 5,2004 3:30pm - Joe/NotCommon ""] My loan was rejected and i have no other way to come up with the funds needed to start up this store. Thanks to everyone who would have shopped there. |
