Recently I went back to Plastic Beach and liked it a bit more, but nothing beats Demon Days. It's a fantastic album. Their first album is a bit too scattered, but has some great songs.
Many moons ago, I tried to listen to Against Me!, starting with their most critically acclaimed album, they're initial EP. It sucks ass and is damn near unlistenable. But when they Opened for Gaslight, they played a lot of their recent stuff, and that I really like.
Bought "The Songs of Tony Sly: A tribute" recently. It's an album in which pretty much every currently big punk band covers a song of Tony Sly, the singer of No Use for a Name who died of a drug related seizure in 2012. The proceeds of the album are donated to his wife and two children. Sly also established himself as an acoustic artist in the last decade.
Holy crap, this album is amazing. Not only is the lineup a who's who in Punk Rock currently, pretty much every band brings their A game, which isn't something that happens often on tribute albums. This thing is amazing. I also recommend buying it through a digital download service because that gives another 20 minutes of additional material, including a song of the german band Donots.
The only wish I had is that Millencolin and Against Me! had also been on there. Speaking of which:

I haven't listened to the early stuff, but got into them when I bought "New Wave" on a whim. This was after White Crosses was already out. After a couple of months I bought that album as well and both are incredible. Transgender Dysphoria Blues is also quite nice, though I prefer the previous two albums. I also very much like the Russian Spies/Occult Enemies Single.
"it ain't like they make high levels gainable And that quote piece of American pie just ain't attainable So how can I sustain a full life before death Man I'm left out here to make it by my goddamn self"
Between reading Keith Richards' autobiography, watching Cocksucker Blues, and starting in on STP by Robert Greenfield, I've developed an intense fascination with and love of the Rolling Stones.
I've been surfing the web with the Red Army Choir in the background recently. It's been years since I listened to them, and Bella Ciao is still my favorite song.
On the Impossible Past by The Menzingers is an absolutely amazing album.

This album is pretty decent. I really like this song. The album is a mashup of FF IV and Wu Tang.
It is good stuff guys.

First time I've shed tears in a long time.

Edit: Wow, this mix made me realize how well the pokemon lyrics matches with "I Want You Back".
kind of reminiscent of this song (from Armour of God)
at least in the feeling it gives me.
Also recently got:
Oh! Calcutta! by The Lawrance Arms
Freak Out! by Teenage Bottlerocket
Agitations by Cobra Skulls
Souvenir by Banner Pilot
Gemini Her Majesty by Rx Bandits
All of which are very good.
Sweet sensation!
