Don't (Touch and) Go

February 18, 2009 / Leave a Comment

From the looks of a post early in the day by Stereogum, one would have thought it was the end of the aural world for fans of underground music. Although the reports later in the day dismissed the rumors that Touch and Go Records was finished; instead, the still dreadful news that the label will … [Read more…]
