Almost makes me not want to support T&G, seeing as they support such egregious use of the world wide interweb. I half-expected the whole site to be in "blink".
Still, not a bad three days. Anyone _not_ getting married that weekend?

Is it the one where Steve Albini is playing golf on the cover? 'Fore'?
OK, can you keep a secret? We just found out about more bands playing the Touch and Go 25th Anniversary Celebration. The first? Arcwelder. They never come around any more, so here's your chance. Xerxes, Pull, Everest... theyll be pulling songs from all the classics. It will be awesome.
But thats not all. Get a load of this: Big Black is gonna play a couple songs. For real. Big Black. Now, theyre not playing a full set or anything...just a couple songs, but who cares how many they play? This is Big Black, playing live, for the first time in nearly 20 years! And its the old school line-up: Albini, Durango, Pezzati. And, believe it or not, theyre not even the 25th band. There are still more surprises to come, so stay tuned.
