UNDERGROUND MEDICINE
Last update 19, November 2008
We just (finally) got back some old Rapid Pulse singles from a distributor. There‘s two specials below so if you missed these, it‘s a good and cheap chance to get caught up. They‘ve all been out of print for years. At the suggestion of world famous Harry Potter historian “Nearly Headless” Nick Bastien, I added a last update date. Those of you who check the site often won't have to scroll down each time and try to figure out if there's been any changes. The date will change anytime something is added, not deleted. I'll do the same for the used page next time that is updated. Below you‘ll see a few more “old” singles posted -things we missed during our hiatus. This time out it‘s Plastic Idol Records. We‘ll continue to do that until we‘re all caught up or we just give up trying. Don‘t forget to check the bottom of the page for a cool new zine. Remember, new singles are added weekly, as we get them, not in a single update like the old days. One thing I miss about only carrying singles is I don‘t have the pleasure of distributing really cool things like the new UNNATURAL AXE double lp tribute. Check out the Axe site for some song samples and the blog for all the details and ordering info. It's spectacular!
