"NOTHING DOES NOT EXIST"

The two sides of Skid Roper Lydia's Cafe (Triple X 51044-1, 1991) offer "SKID WAS HERE" and "RECORDS STILL SOUND BETTER." I cannot disagree with either sentiment. Co-produced with The Village Voice, the street performer compilation Streat Heat (Cachalot CA 131, 1985) bore a sticker that said "Independent Labels Make Good Records" and both side of the LP are inscribed "MINSTREL's RULE." That is another pair of sentiments few of my fellow music enthusiasts could disagree with. Enthusiasm is something independent artists need to move forward without hope of commercial success. On the A-Soma and Eve Libertine album Last One Out Turns Off the Lights the pair offer as a battle cry on Side One "AWE OR NOTHING" further whittling down the future options with the philosophical observation on Side Two "NOTHING DOES NOT EXIST."
