You can watch a fully restored and remastered live performance of The Gits "Wingo Lamo," filmed live at Seattle's RKCNDY. The live visual features original film footage courtesy of DC9 and Douglas Pray from his 1993 documentary, Hype! -> youtube.com/watch?v=2wRwFo0BZdI

Guitarist Andy Kessler offers this: “‘Wingo…’ was always one of my favorites to play live. And then there’s the thing about how I’d misheard Mia’s lyrics to the chorus as, ‘Just like my father told me…’ The actual line is, ‘Immobilized by the torment…’ But I truly wondered what it was her father told her. And to this day I still do. I always loved it when she changed the chorus and gave me a look and a laugh.”

In case you missed the freaking big news--we are reissuing SEVEN titles – five on LP and digital and two digital-only – by Denver punk legends The Fluid. Grab them all today at yr local indie record store or at the Sub Pop Mega Mart-> https://music.subpop.com/thefluid_coldoutside

These releases include the band’s entire Sub Pop output from 1988-1991, choice outtakes and rarities, and their debut album, Punch N Judy, originally released by RayOn Records in 1986. None of this material has been available on digital music services before, and the vinyl versions have been out of print for decades! It sounds better than ever, thanks to extensive mixing and remastering work by the band and Jack Endino (Nirvana, Soundgarden, High on Fire, Mudhoney). Enjoy.

The Fluid holds a special place in Sub Pop’s history as the label’s first non-Seattle signing, and their astounding live show and Detroit-fueled rock power made an indelible mark on the nascent grunge scene. Mudhoney's own Mark Arm recalls their first Seattle performance in 1988...

5 years of Clipping.'s The Deep!
Experimental hip-hop group Clipping’s “The Deep” is a dark sci-fi tale about the underwater-dwelling descendants of African women thrown off slave ships, based on the mythology of Detroit electronic group Drexciya. The song was originally commissioned for a This American Life about Afrofuturism in 2017. The track earned Clipping a nomination for a 2018 Hugo award, and the band constructed a sound installation based on “The Deep” at the Massachusetts Museum of Contemporary Art. The vinyl and digital versions include two otherwise-unreleased extra tracks – including “Aquacode Databreaks,” which features Shabazz Palaces – and the vinyl edition includes instrumental versions of all three tracks. Grab it here-> https://megamart.subpop.com/products/clipping_the-deep
