Some sort of record company, apparently. Called more people ‘loser’ than Donald Trump has. Put out the latest release from Sleater-Kinney (q.v.).
ERRATA : Fleet Foxes are neither from Fleet, nor a manufacturer of biscuits (q.v.).

EXXO
Possibly the most obscure line in all 193 songs? Unless anyone knows what it means, of course. I’ve always had a feeling it’s some sort of NME crossword clue.

Had “the most distinctive regional sound since Tamla Motown” (John Peel in The Observer, 1988).
One can only assume that the line is a “Yo momma”-style putdown, linked as it is to “Go home, your mum’s got cake”, which NB10 once described as “one of the great phrases that existed due to peer pressure in a gang”. One also wonders what’s going down in that Bucks lay-by.

In fact released the last two Sleater-Kinney records. The Woods being the pre-“hiatus” release and heralded a heavier, more rocky sound befitting the label’s grunge heritage.
Also allowed the likes of The Shins and Hot Hot Heat to somehow continue to steal a living.
