SINGLES CLUB V.2 IS DEAD 2002
|
Many rumors have been circulating recently about the disappearance of Singles Club. We here at Sub Pop Records would like to set the record (ha ha) straight once and for all.
Singles Club was found in his apartment of on March 1st 2002 spinning around on the floor with a giant hole in his chest. He was rushed to Harborview Medical Center but the damage had already been done. He died later that evening with the White Stripes "China Pig/ Ashtray Heart" record playing on his turntable.
"Good luck finding that one!"
We at Sub Pop Records are truly saddened by the loss of our dear friend and fellow employee.
Singles Club led a troubled life. One month he would show up on time grinning ear to ear and proudly exclaim that he had a new band that we needed to "totally check out."
Other months however, he wouldn't show up at all and if he did he would try to pass some bogus piece of wax off on us like it was the Second Coming of Christ.

The Sub Pop Singles Club was a legendary mail delivery service that provided the subscriber with
one 7" single per month by one of the most talented and physically attractive bands of the day.
The madness began in November 1988 with the now mythic Nirvana 'Love Buzz' single and continued
through five years of unadulterated bliss, finally reaching its end with Lou Barlow's 'I Am Not
Mocking You'. Beginning in April 1998, Sub Pop Records unhesitatingly re-launched the Singles
Club and once again provided a reason to live for the countless morbidly lonesome shut-ins of
this generation. Since then, we have, without pause, released one magically delicious single
per month to divert, delight and enjoy.
For a good indication of the caliber of music you will be receiving just take a look at some
of the bands that participated in the first incarnation: Smashing Pumpkins, Fugazi, The Flaming
Lips, Sonic Youth, Rapeman, Unrest, Rocket From the Crypt, Jon Spencer, Ween, Soundgarden,
Afghan Whigs, Poster Children, The Muffs, Reverend Horton Heat and lots more. Subscribers
to the re-launched club in April 1998 have received singles from the likes of Luna, Modest
Mouse, The Jesus & Mary Chain, Team Dresch/Longstocking, Creeper Lagoon, The Get Up Kids,
Beachwood Sparks, Dot Allison, Bonny Prince Billy, Pedro The Lion, Crooked Fingers, Mudhoney,
Dead C, Death Cab For Cutie, To Rococco Rot, The Yo-Yo's, The Creatures, Trumans Water &
Zeke among others, with many more yet-to-be announced sonic delights.
If you're saying to yourself 'I haven't even heard of any of those bands', then perhaps you
would do better to join our Ass-Kick of the Month Club, in which a large, burly man will
come to your home each month and give you a severe boot to the rear until you come around
and start listening to some good music for a change!
