What a mess of shit that post is.

Where? I've never met Rusk or the BH Surfers. Nothing in any of my above posts suggests otherwise. Regardless, it's irrelevant.
--- Quote from: tricia kidd on 17 Feb 2010, 14:53 ---i've actually met the Butthole Surfers, and a much older friend of mine has worked with them since the early 90s. by my observations and his stories, they are generally nice guys.

Right, the fact that "you" "met" the BH Surfers changes any of this. That completely overrides a band screwing over a label.
--- Quote from: tricia kidd on 17 Feb 2010, 14:53 ---as has been stated, greg ginn did far worse things to bands than the Surfers did to Rusk. so hey Ptommy, try taking your personal grudge against the Surfers and your undying love for Black Flag out of this argument.

Firstly, Greg Ginn is an irrelevance in the above. SST screwed over a lot of people. Neither has any bearing on T&G or the BH Surfers. Also, I already lauded the early records of the BH Surfers, said they were an incredibly live band and also to be honest I have no trouble with them aside from two people. Regardless of what I think, they made the decision to screw over a record label and on this occasion I'm calling a spade a spade. I also didn't mention Black Flag or SST in any of this argument, "you" did. Furthermore, if you actually look through my post history I am frequently critical of Black Flag. I don't listen to their music and frequently tell people not to bother with an overwhelming majority of their discography.

You have no idea about any of the things you talk about at all. I don't know where to begin with any of the above. You are an idiot.
--- Quote from: tricia kidd on 17 Feb 2010, 14:53 ---maybe working with Rusk isn't all roses if all these bands constantly leave his label?
--- End quote ---
Bands leave independent record labels for many different reasons and in 95% of the times they regret doing so. It's always for money reasons. Lots of bands are willing to jeopardise everything for that 5% chance, most seeing it as an experiment. It doesn't bother me in all but a few cases. The BH Surfers going on a major wasn't an issue in itself, it was the much later decision to screw over the label that got them there in the first place which rankles.

...
Touch & Go were still advertising these records to the independent market same as they always had.
...
Corey Rusk is one of the most trust-worthy, honest and decent human beings involved in music and always has been.

you're right, i don't know where i got the idea that you were holding forth as having some personal knowledge or bias.
also, you're very rude. who are you to tell me that i have no knowledge of independent record labels and the troubles they often get into? how would you know if i do or do not have any such knowledge?
