White Trash Renegades: The Supervillains, Authority Zero, Pennywise, and Pepper at the 9:30 Club
Skate rock (Think Sublime’s genetic material crossed with that of Minor Threat) is a lot like milt. Some people get a mouthful of the creamy white stuff and think, “So this is fish sperm. Not bad!” Other people take a bite, move it around with their tongues, and then say to themselves, “Oh god, I just put fish balls in my mouth.” They panic. They look for a trash can, a napkin, maybe some condiments to amend the taste. They crunch up crackers and squirt cocktail sauce directly into their gaping, fishy maws. When that doesn’t work, they spit what’s left into their hands and shove it in their pockets.
Dischord Announces Vinyl Reissues
Dischord announces: “Due to the renewed interest in vinyl LPs Dischord Records is remastering and re-cutting much of our vinyl catalog here in the United States. We will begin by re-pressing current titles, and later re-issuing others…” The vinyl will come with the now routine MP3 download coupon.
The bad news: a very, very small price increase. “This move will coincide with a small but long overdue price increase (from $10 to $11 on Dischord 12″ LPs and from $8 to $9 for 12″ EPs) that will begin with newly pressed titles and extend to all titles in January 2009,” the label reports. Still pretty damn reasonable. Can you think of cheaper prices?
