Still Going start up new label

The band Still Going are going to start up their own label. It will be called Still Going Records. One of the first releases on it will be their own new single called ‘D117’. They’ve got another single coming up, called ‘Work That Shit Party’. The duo previously released tracks on the DFA label, including the much touted ‘Still Going Theme’ in 2007.


D117 is a code that has been used since the beginning of man, and because after a certain amount of time people forget it again, someone is always clever enough to reuse it. The code can be turned into the abbreviation D.A.A.G., which means Don’t Allow Any Guests.
One of the earliest uses of the code was by King Martin, who had a daughter who loved to dance and who was pretty good at it. For fear people would come, be seduced by his daughter’s dancing, and would want to date her, he didn’t allow any guests to her recitals. When King Martin died at the age of 83, reportedly a 57-year-old spinster came up to his grave and spit on it.
More contemporary uses of the code are obviously the South during the segregation, but even more recently the US Government has taken to it again. In order to exclude people and thus not allow guests, the US has taken matters into their own hand by bailing-out giant companies so that there is no void for other companies to come in (and so there’s no void in campaign funding for them). 
And if people start to protest and try to shake it all up a bit, luckily there is the NDAA now and the SOPA is coming up. For yeah, anyone blowing the whistle like WikiLeaks might allow guests in and force people who are there out! So D117 y’all, no guests allowed, lets keep them out and lets make sure that we keep everything how it is, even if it not working.
