UNDERGROUND MEDICINE
#151 – August, 2008
We’re Back! Yes indeed, and as you’ll surely notice, there’s some changes afoot. The home page and the New Shit page are now one in the same. We won’t be carrying nearly as many new releases and we’re continuing the plan of going 7" only (ok, so why is there a CD below? Well, maybe there will be an exception now and then and it’s hard to resist the Busy Signals!). New shit will be added as we get it, not once a month or once every other month. There’s a few things currently listed that aren’t exactly super new, but we couldn’t pass up the chance to grab some Douchemaster singles that we missed while away. The LP and CD pages are gone. Any remaining stock we had are now in the used/rare section. Speaking of which, there’s a bunch of singles added to that page and hopefully a bunch more in the future. No more credit cards, it’s now Paypal. This makes for an extra step where we have to email you the total and then you send it, but it’s gonna be much cheaper for us. The credit card fees, like everything else, were going way up. There’s probably a few other things I’m forgetting about, but you’ll figure it out.
NEW SHIT! : seven inches
4.50 Apache
Boys Life/Crystal Clear (Douchemaster) Not to quote the Doors or anything, but this is Heavenly in it's Brilliance.
4.50 Brothers Gross
Introducing The Brothers Gross (Silly Girl) Indiana pop fiends. Any relation to former Houston Astros' rookie of the year Greg Gross is at this point pure conjecture.
4.50 Cheap Time
Handy Man/Wildlife (Douchemaster) The Douchemark of quality!
4.50 EEGOS
If You Ain't Shaking + 3 (Felony Fidelity) Brilliant punky powerpop from Portland, OR. Perfect match to the Transmitors, Cute Lepers etc. Very limited -on orange vinyl.

4.50 Mahonies
Hey We Got Coney It's Great Let's Dig in! (X!) 8-song trashed out ep from this two-piece from Detroit. The longest song clocks in at 1:30, but they're not all thrashers.
4.00 New Frustrations
Power Pop Rocks ep (Lawless) Methinks you get all you need to know from the records title. However, you may not be able to infer that there are 4 songs, including a brilliant Atlantics cover or that it's 400 numbered copies on clear vinyl.
4.50 Pity Fucks
Why Right Now? + 3 (Felony Fidelity) Dirty garage Punk with organ. Red vinyl
5.00 Prambath

Big Man, Small House (Deranged) Canada Killer single from this San Francisco band. Slight post-punk feel to their otherwise punky powerpop brilliance!
