"You say, when it comes to business, I don't know shit..." — Andrew Beaujon

Andrew Beaujon has a curse.

I was visiting Washington DC and bought this 7" in 1997 at Go! Compact Discs, just weeks before the Indie-Rock Flea Market. Discovering I had missed it, I bought the 7" which had Andrew Beaujon (of Eggs, Scaley Andrew, Woman in Rock, Jungle George and the Plague, and even for a time Unrest fame) making his solo vinyl debut. As I walked out of the store, I figured I'd catch it next time.

Well, Go! Compact Discs closed and there never was another Indie-Rock Flea Market.

Fast forward to 1998 in New York, Andrew is playing a haphazard and wonderful set at CMJ's Teenbeat night. Andrew dedicates "Angry Canadians" to me and he is sitting at the back selling 12" copies of his Morning EP. Not wanting to carry it around, I pass on it and head home to Toronto.

In Toronto I check out Duck Suit Mailorder, the company run by Andrew and (I think some of the folks from Low) and awhile later I throw some money (well concealed) in an envelope and order the Across My Bow 7" and the Morning EP. A few months later I write to Andrew and he says that he's moved and hasn't checked the PO Box in a few months. I never did get those records.

And finally, PAL-Mailorder. They were one of the few places that carried the Women in Rock Click and Drag 7" released in 1998. I placed an order with them, they shut their doors and the 7" never came.

Like I said, a curse.
