Now I'm more curious than ever to know what's going on with Thorp/SGR.

it's very sad to me that people who conduct honest business almost always get fucked in the butt while the greedy fuckin slugs who would fuck their
own blood for a dime get fat cat rich..............something wrong with our system?

Tower still exists? I thought they went out years ago lol. The store in Toronto was wicked but closed down a good 5+ years ago. They had a wicked
magazine collection and a semi-decent punk/hardcore selection.
A lot of people ask me what kind of music I like. I love "soul music". My "soul music" isn’t a style, genre or niche. It’s music that is genuine. It’s
a painful lyric, a dirty bassline, it’s a harrowing vocal, it’s feedback, it’s an anthem, it’s a love song, it’s anarchy. I’ve got my personal
favourites but in the end it doesn’t matter who or where it comes from... so long as it’s good and it's real.

That sucks. Thorp/Sailors Grave has been by far the best record label that I've ever seen.
Support the arts, shoot a rapper.

I really hope things start lookin' up for the Thorp family of labels, I don't see anybody else filling this gap and definitely not with such good
people involved.
