As a Librarian, I felt it was my duty to order this book for the Library I am at. The book should be coming in any day.
I try to bring cool and interesting things into the Library to educate the kiddies.
Plus, I gotta support Tesco Vee!

The Touch and Go book arrived to my parent’s address some 1000km’s away(as I neglected to change my details in my paypal account). Anyway, upon first opening the book the cover just peeled right off the bound insides. Such a shame that so much effort has gone into doing a book like this, and the soft cover just peels away. Was there a hard cover edition? I could use one of them.
Killer book, nice to see the early issues and see how things evolved. A bunch of the later stuff I’d already seen in the 1991 newsprint re-issue.

Thomas, you left out that the kids fucking old punk rock parents escort them to the shows! What a fucking joke that is! They don’t want their kids to do the same things they did at the shows and don’t want them to get hurt! Fucking pious conformists!!

Where to draw the line? What would I not let through? If it doesn’t get very, very bad, I simply approve the comment. In this case, it seemed appropriate because it’s so unwillingly funny.

Why so polite, Mr. Keller? Why even bother and let such stupid comments through?

What people like you can’t understand: We’re not talking about your petty sensitivities here. It doesn’t make me or anybody my age (or older) insecure to see the young geriatrics worldwide copying and copying. That just proves how retro it is. And age is absolutely unimportant to acknowledge this or debate it: Whether you’ve been part of “it” or not doesn’t change a thing. I guess this just proves how insecure it makes you feel, playing the loudmouth anonymously. Imagine that: You’re like 20 years old, play “hard” music and then your parents generation tells you how lame it all is. And of course you know it and you wish and wish you were a bit older or brighter or more creative or braver – or all of it together. How horrible must that be. Is this why you wanna nick your daddy’s gun and mail it to me?

By the way, we formed our “grind band” because we wanted to create something new. We all had been heavily active in the music thing for many years before that.
