Hey everyone,

GO!’s passing had me really depressed for a while but unfortunately, it really is for the better this way, and who knows about the future. I think we’ve broken up like 5-6 times already. :^) What can you do. And I haven’t started looking for a band again. Maybe soon. Anyhow, a couple of things are up right now.

I’m going to do a repressing of the Your Power Means Nothing 7"EP which came out in 1990. It’s been out of print for like 15 years, and truthfully, it’s my favorite record of ours and probably the best one. It’s got "Me vs. You" (with the killer mosh part), "You Say You’ll," "King of Nothing" and more and fuck, it makes me want to go break things when I listen to it, so what the heck. I found all the old tapes in my garage. I’ll do maybe 600-800, and if you’re interested in helping distribute it, let me know. Maybe like 200-300 on white vinyl. It’ll probably be a split label release again with a couple of labels - working on that.

RECORD COLLECTORS: I haven’t really talked about them much but I do have some test pressings for sale. We did 23 of each of the last 2 EPs. Most of those stayed with the band and labels, but I have 5 each for sale. $20 each - ppd in the US (everywhere else add $3 for shipping) Go to Paypal and send the money to go@designbymike.com Reactive has a different sleeve entirely. What We Build Together has the Polar Bear sleeve except it says "Test Pressing" on it. (Pretty original. huh?) Actually, I had done that sleeve originally only for the test pressing, but liked it so much I used it for the limited edition cover. I think I have maybe 4 of those left, and maybe 5-6 of the limited Reactive cover, too. If anyone’s interested. Drop me an email.

There’s probably going to be another pressing of the What We Build Together 7"EP, which came out last year. Maybe just another 200 or so, and I’m thinking of doing them on clear vinyl. We’ve never been on clear vinyl before. Actually, before that record we never released colored vinyl at all! But it’s fun, so I’m running with it. Once again: distros, get in contact! If people want more I’ll make more.

And of course the Existence CD is still available, with all the 1989-1991 stuff. $10 ppd in the US. Everywhere else add like $2 for shipping, ok (and non-US ships without a plastic cover). Once again - go to Paypal and send the $$ to go@designbymike.com



So... that’s it for now. Maybe next time I write it’ll be a little more philosophical. m i k e
