i justpicked up his 100th release not too long ago. it's a comp celebrating the history of the label. mostly the really really old early stuff he did, and the later resissues. not a lot of the poppy punk stuff from the golden age of pop punk.

I agree, just had no idea they were still around.

I think he's basically just down to re-issues now.

that's basically it. reissues and new records from old bands. i think he got tired of the pop punk kids. the ones in bands, not the ones in bands.

the old bands are easier to deal with, i think, cos they're older, and aren't all tied up by their egos. i know he got burned by guttermouth at least, and i kind of remember seeing reference to one other band whose name escapes me.

I used to do the same with his catalogs. He did an interview with my zine way back.

Face to face burned him too

why i don't haven't read this alleged zine?

speaking of zines.

did you see that microcosm compiled issues 1-4 of SCAM zine? i picked it up the other day. just finished reading issue 7 last night. am now reading a random issue of rice harvester. then i've got a new cometbus to read. and some other random things that no one else in the world but you would appreciate.

Face to Face didn't "burn" him, per se. They just got Fat to reissue Don't Turn Away after the Doc let it go out of print. And why did he do that? Because Trever from F2F ran off with his wife.

Zoinks!
