"LOL those sad hipsters! Nickelback will never go out of style!"


/RIP Touch & Go.

Yeah Yeah Yeahs were never on Touch & Go.

That was indeed a fine label as was Quarterstick.

I own so much Touch N Go , its ridiculous: Everything Butthole surfers ever released, the lizards, big black, scratch acid....


And responsible for my favorite album cover of all time :

Ted Leo + the Pharmacists put out their last album on Touch & Go, too. Just saying. "La Costa Brava" is a great song.

oops. guess my Big Black "songs about f****g" was too nsfw

Uh, Touch and Go isn't shutting down. They're merely ceasing their manufacturing and distribution for some small indie labels. Touch and Go itself is staying around. At least that's what the press release says.

Jesus Lizard trifecta in play??

Solid State Vittles: Yeah Yeah Yeahs were never on Touch & Go.

That was indeed a fine label as was Quarterstick.

The ST EP and the Machine single were released through Touch & Go, although that was mostly a drop-off distribution deal.

So uh, yeah, they were there, smacky.

I'd rather people bought their BHS back catalog on Latino Buggerveil, anyway. Give SOMETHING to Paul Leary! His guitar cried for you!

Aren't they only available thru LAtino/buggerveil anyways, now that T&G lost in court?

I sure hope so.

You what would be better than seeing the expression of a hipster finding out this news? The expression of a hipster finding out Bernie Madoff gutted his trust fund!!!

I am so goddamned sick and fukcing tired of the whole "hipster" accusation bullshiat.

I grew up on Hendrix,Sabbath,Zeppelin,Stones...etc...etc...

Some time around the 80s it became sadly obvious that truly original and threatening music was no longer being represented through mainstream sources. I had to seek it out via independent "hip" labels like Touch and Go and others.

Bands like:

Scratch Acid
Jesus Lizard
Girls Against Boys
Slint
Mule
Laughing Hyenas
Trans Am.....never got played on the radio.

So called "alt" shows like MTV 120 Minutes wouldn't show them either.

I don't wear thrift store clothes and try to be ironic like a so-called "hipster" asshole.

I just really like good music.

Feck that, I still miss WaxTrax!.

:(

The early version of Rollins Band did some Touch and Go recordings, didn't they?

Wow. A record label Ive barely heard and that distributes a whole bunch of other labels Ive never heard of is going under.

(yawn)

Yow says OW!

FAIL my friends band is actually doing an album on touch and go as we speak.

Saddest music new I've heard in a long time. As a teenager in the late 80's/early 90's living in Louisville, Slint, Rodan, June of '44, Rachel's, Shellac etc. were all a godsend. It was one of the few labels where I could go to the store, see that is was put out by Touch n Go, buy it and probably love it. Plus Corey Rusk is one cool motherfarker.

/sad sad sad

mfaby: Wow. A record label Ive barely heard and that distributes a whole bunch of other labels Ive never heard of is going under.

Whoosh... what a relief! We were all waiting for mfaby to weigh in on this subject, and now he has...

Tempest in a tea kettle everyone! Nothing to see here! Move along!
We'll let you know when a really important record label (i.e. something mfaby's heard of) closes up shop! Nickleback's label is still fine! Nobody panic!

(twat)

STFU and listen to your Foreigner like a man! if it's good enough for 50 year olds who never moved on, it's good enough for you!

/woo, Rock you like a hurricane!
//feh, I want to know what those biatching about hipsters listen to..

Damn, this is affecting a lot of good labels, like Kill Rock Stars and Jade Tree.

Kurt Cobain wanted to sign w/ Touch & Go before going w/ DGC.

/I miss the '90s

Riotboy: Kurt Cobain wanted to sign w/ Touch & Go before going w/ DGC.

/I miss the '90s

Too bad. I'll hate to see what this does to Jade Tree and Flameshovel.

P.S. RTFA, T&G isn't shutting their doors.

URGE OVERKILL



/that is all

/hot, like my-my-my-my-my-my-my-my Max Wedge

Too NSFW? Have you seen what's inside the black sleeve on the limited edition of "Headache?"

/Yes, I have a copy.
//Most I've paid for any album ever.
