Can't Stop The Bleeding
12XU label management's outpourings concerning the sporting life.

Mission Of Burma
The key to musical brilliance in your golden years is taking a 20 year sabbatical. As a matter of fact, let's start a petition drive to get many of today's stars to begin their sabbaticals right away.

Friends Of Tom

aka "Scharpling's Army". Tom S., host of "The Best Show on WFMU" communicates directly with you, the lucky public.

12XU on the radio
or to be more accurate, on the internet pretending to be the radio. streaming nightly from midnight uk time to 8am. features BOTH types of music, electro AND clash. old playlists here.

Buddyhead
thin-skinned management will probably dictate that we willl take this link down the first time Buddyhead review one of our records, but until that fateful day, this Durst-baiting site is a fucking riot.

Bill Romanowski
'Roid Raging Romosexuals Unite! The Pharmecutical Phenom Only Knows How To Play One Way! Arrrrrrrrrraghghghggggggg!

Hyped 2 Death
in about 20 years long after this label is pushing up daisies it would be kinda cool if someone like Chuck Warner's H2D slapped a song or two from our catalog on the next generation's version of a CDR. Not as cool as you paying for something right now, but Chuck has the '70's and '80's covered. Nostalgia addicts & ignorant young fucks alike can get their freak on here.

Mets By The Numbers - very intense dedication to arcane matters. Either that or they can't get a date.

Todd Barry - he's just like Ray Romano. if Ray Romano had no hair, no teevee show and was actually entertaining. Actually, Todd Barry is nothing like Ray Romano, but through his infrequent appearances on the idiot box + his excellent CD 'Medium Energy', he's quickly laying claim to the title of earth's funniest man. Other than Donald Rumsfeld.

The Go-Betweens - just because the Go-Betweens' current UK label is run by lying, ripoff artist scumbags is no reason to penalise this brilliant songwriting team. The new album 'Bright Yellow, Bright Orange' is available on vinyl from the German imprint Clear Spot.

Damien Jurado - "the third most boring man in Seattle", says Everett True, the single biggest starfucker in Brighton. Damien's a killer storyteller and what he lacks in artiface/celeb connections he more than makes up for in brutally raw content. The very sort ET would doubtlessly embrace if Mr. Jurado came back to earth as a cute girl. Until such a reincarnation happens, the male version is a goddamn king in our book.

Cobra Verde - literate, yet rocking harder than hurricanes, Scorpions or anyone else, this Cleveland band led by thinker no. 1 John Petkovic inch ever closer towards ending their semi-obscurity. Patronage of hotshot fans like Wayne Kramer and J Mascis might impress you, but don't be so fucking shallow. The splendid 12XU label says they're great, and to quote Baron Von Rasche, that is all the people need to know.

Scat Records - US home to Damon Che's Speaking Canaries, this St. Louis concern is home to a mountain of great recordings by Guided By Voices, Nothing Painted Blue, Prison Shake, Cobra Verde, the Electric Eels and more.

Primetime Glick - are you ready for a Glick fix? Damn straight!
