how do i find a working version of the first cd (one with elephant emo guy cover on pink bg)

i remember this band from back in middle school when i watched much loud but i never picked up the cd

i thoguht it was maybe a smaller band but ever since discoverin the band was popular enough to have a subreddit i decided i wanted to listen to their music because its wild that the drummer sings and i remember it soundin pretty cool almost like a louder our lady peace

so i go to ebay and order the cd n the seller takes his time sending it then a few days after he ships it all the mailmen in canada decided to quit or something (still gettin amazon stuff but canada post is not coming 4 some reason)

so i wait and wait and wait and it still doesnt come so i went to my post office and the guy who works at canada post was just standin there looking bored as shit i asked him what was going on and he said something about canada post havin a stroke so i guess maybe my local mail guy isnt doin so good but long story short they didnt have my cd

luckily i managed to find a copy at my local thrift store. its the one with the elephant emo guy on the pink background. unfortunately i think it might be defective

it was a used cd and it dpesnt have many scratches but i think maybe because its older? it doesnt skip or anything but its like im not getting the entire song. like half the tracks are playin n half arent. does anybody know what the problem is? i can hear the voices (a bit whiny but not bad) and some of the drummin, but i can only hear a bass guitar. there is no guitar, and not even anythin extra like a violen or moracca.

i dont know when my mailman is gettin gback from the hospital do u guys know if all cds were defective or is there a certain thing i am supposed to look for to make sure i get a non broken copy?

in this band does the guy drum n sing at the same time or is it just special affects?

i used to be big fan and watch the video blood inside our hands much loud back in the day and was always amazed at the drummer also singin since usually that is not allowed in bands

was that actually real it was it just to get them publicity? does he have trouble keepin time n stuff because he has to sing or are they more punk rock live where it's about slagging on the queen n not much about proper musicianship?

Simpsons

Are both "Push her down son" and "Sexy Results", Simpsons references? I have always assumed so. Probably neither enough super obvious on its own, but both together on the same album suggests Simpsons golden era needs hip.

Apologies if this is an ancient known

YAWIAM cycling jersey

YAWIAM cycling jersey

Assuming not licensed. Quite random I think the only other music option was Pink Floyd prism... Quality is kinda crap and fit larger than expected. I suppose it could be good attire for the pit in Calgary tonight.

I just think it'd be really funny to hear what they thought about that song

Extra ticket for Detroit

I've decided not to go to the Detroit show and I'm selling my ticket at face value. It's via email so I can just forward it to whoever wants to buy it. I'm in Canada so I can only accept payment via Paypal or e-transfer if it's a fellow Canadian.

Vancouver show buddy

I've got an extra ticket to the Vancouver show in November. The person I was going to take bailed on me. I'm still going, but I would prefer to not go alone. I've thought about asking a few different friends, but I know they're not really into DFA, and I'd rather go with someone who is going to enjoy the show.
