THOU SHALT NOT COMMIT ADULTHOOD...

(hear that, y'all?)

Touch And Go records - home of many love-hound's favorite bands has MOVED!
The new address is POB 25520, Chicago, IL 60625.  Commit that to memory.
Due to the move, there haven't been many releases lately but you can all
look for: Butthole Surfers: Locust Abortion Technicians LP (what happened
to the 7"?) and Big Black: Heartbeat 7" and Big Black: Headache 12" EP -
also a chrome cassette will be released containing both these releases.
Prices on LPs are still holding pat at 6$ a shot and considering SST's
recent price increase, it would be wise to shower this company with your
money and buy up their stock and drop hints about how great their low
prices are.  Note also that the new Scratch Acid EP, Beserker is out
on this label.

Speaking of SST - they have about 6 CD's out.  Be on the lookout for fIREHOSE
and DC3 tour as well as Corrosion of Conformity (who've recently been
signed).  New stuff from Opal, Angst, et al.  and much more.  The PPD prices
have risen to 7.50, so I won't be buying much on the whim from this 
company anymore though I'll probably still have to stock up on essential
items.  Speaking of which: Ballot Result by the Minutemen is one such
essential item.  I found it in a store for 7.99 - it's a double record
chock full of favorite Minutemen live materiel as well as a dance mix
of "No One" which was to have been released in Europe.

The Descendents, masters of razor edged pop and anti-social flatuence, have a 
new record out called "All".  Tour dates:

(P.S. to IED:  As I remember, IED, you posted a challenge.  I answered
your challenge.  You have NOTHING to contend my challenge (Doug
didn't post the challenge, you did).  I therefore win and the Butthole
Surfers have released much better vinyl than Kate could ever hope
to muster ... case closed)
