I always get irked when I see some poor schmuck paying way too
much for stuff on ebay. Latest case: hey dude, you don’t have to
pay $30 for those “rare” Spoon 7-inches. The “rare” discs in question are the “30-Gallon Tank” 7-inch, which is available from Peek-a-boo for $3.50, and the “Anticipation/Headz” 7-inch, which is also available from Peek-a-boo for $5.00. Furthermore, that “Anticipation” disc was just recently repressed, so you should actually be able to pick it up almost anywhere (i.e. Insound). Plenty of other Spoon singles and EPs can be had via the 12xu shop and the Merge store.

And speaking or Merge, holy crap! The first Teenage Fanclub US dates in like, 5 years or something:

Also, hey, if you live along I-70 between Illinois and CA, and you want to
hook Unbunny up with a show
or a house party, or even a showing of House Party, then drop ‘em a line.
