After teasing its inital lineup for the Shadrock Music Fest on Brown's Island on April 28, Style Weekly has announced the remaining acts playing the show. Joining De La Soul, Dum Dum Girls, Invisible Hand and Photosynthesizers are: Yo La Tengo . These guys put on one of the best shows I've ever seen. The band plays for what seems like forever and the fans go nuts. This one is worth the price of admission. Yo La Tengo - Periodically [...]

was reminded this week of the giddy joy of brainiac. which in turn, sequentially, with hideous logic, with inexorable chronological certainty led to sad sad youngold man reminiscing of halcyon punkrock juvenilia. which inevitably led to touch and go records . reductionally, touch and go records is an independent record label based in chicago, illinois, usa. expansionally, the perfect marriage of squalid chording (back then) and punk rock business spunk. and, along with dischord as a way to run a record label (no matter which side of the t&g / butthole surfers fence yr sitting [...]
