Virgil Dickerson
Virgil Dickerson has been running Suburban Home Records, a small, independent record label based in Denver, Colorado for the past 12 years. It started as a fanzine in September of 1995 and has become a label, a distributor, a vinyl imprint and store, a custom t-shirt company and this blog about the music industry. He remains optimistic about the future of music sales although it is tougher now than it has ever been trying to sell a product people actively get for free. Suburban Home's bands include Drag the River, Tim Barry, Love Me Destroyer, On Guard, Ghost Buffalo, Josh Small, Stereotyperider, Two Cow Garage and Adventures of Jet.

I still can’t believe “Goddamnit” still sells so well, relatively I mean. That record came out 10 years ago.

Didn’t Asian Man just reissue some of the Trio titles, including that one?

You’re thinking of the Screeching Weasel re-issues.
When Alk 3 toured with Against Me! (summer of 06) they played Goddamnit in it’s entirety which garnered a resurgence of the album. I don’t know if that is still a factor, but I thought it was interesting.
I wish more bands would do stuff like that to revive thier older material. . .

No, I’m thinking Alk 3. I know a bunch of acts (esp the old Lookout acts) have had recent reissues, but I thought Asian Man was re-releasing some of the Trio catalog with bonus tracks and what not.
