Oh joyous of 4-day work weeks!Just in time for their 25th Anniversary, Touch & Go (and Quarterstick) Records have been added to the Rhapsody library. At this time, it appears to be limited to mostly recent artists and one (maybe two) from other artists on the label.
More recent T&G staples like TV On The Radio, CocoRosie, Pinback and Quasi have albums added alongside some classic releases from The Jesus Lizard, Don Caballero, Polvo and Urge Overkill. Other additions include great releases from Silkworm, The Black Heart Procession, The New Year and Blonde Redhead.What's missing? Probably the most important releases from the label, to be quite honest. Most noticeable is Steve Albini's recorded output (Big Black, Rapeman, Shellac,) followed by the very influential Slint, and post-punk giants Mekons.
Nonetheless, what made it in is still something to be excited about.
Now returning you back to your 4-day work week...

Thank you for the overview, captain. My own forays through the Just Added list only brought me Quasi, Blonde Redhead, and Man or Astroman.
I am quite happy about the Scratch Acid and will explore all thosen others I'm not intimate with thanks to your work!
(Also I'm coming late to, but wholeheartedly appreciate, the Pixies retrospective and the Asch Recordings work you delivered. Cheers!)
I totally missed Calexico in this list (on Quarterstick) don't know how it made it passed me!
Another artist that made his way into Rhapsody as a result of Touch & Go entering the fold is Sufjan Stevens, because his Asthma Kitty label is distributed through T&G/Quarterstick.
