Much mystery has surrounded the release of the first self-released FUCKED UP 12", "Looking for Gold". Released in two separate runs of 300 copies to co-incide with short tours that took place from 23-25th September 2004 (Chicago/Columbus/Pittsburgh), and 15-17th November 2004 (Albany/Sherbrooke/Montreal), the record was never repressed and quickly became sought after by collectors and fuck-heads.
Yep, Rebel scum and tossers alike feen after this one. I saw someone asking about Looking For Gold on one of the many Vinyl Collective message boards. Well, let me do my public service and post this one up. It's not earth-shattering, but it sure as hell doesn't suck either.
Let me also remind you that the Fucked Up website is, if you're willing to spend a few seconds looking, a very nice place to find lots of bootlegs, mix tape drafts and rarities from the F.U. ouevre. That, and I'm now happy I used "ouevre" in a sentence, albeit probably improperly.

Fucked Up are so meh. srsly.
that said, I'll still download this. they can write some pretty good song (I'm looking forward to the 7" of 'No Epiphany' which should be coming out soon)
OK, so at least one person falls in the "Meh" category. But I take it seriously, because GGH is head honcho of HC for Nerds, and he knows what the score is.
"Baiting the Public" came on my iPod today at work, and I just wanted to tear down my cubicle walls.
