Best known for shedding light on Seattle's punk scene (and spawning a flannel frenzy with the "Grunge" movement) by signing Nirvana, Mudhoney, and Soundgarden, owner Bruce Pavitt is celebrating by releasing a deluxe edition of Mudhoney's 1990 distortion-fest, Superfuzz Bigmuff, as well as their newest studio release, The Lucky Ones.
Raising the label from a small self-produced zine called Subterranean Pop as a broke college kid in the late 80's, Pavitt has created one of the most substantial staples of rock music history. Today Sub Pop represents ridiculously successful modern acts The Shins, The Postal Service, and most recently signed LA's experimental duo (and frequent Brooklyn live noisemakers) No Age, among many others.
See my coverage of Mudhoney and Sub Pop's bday on Spin.com and tell 'em how awesome you think I am (Oh, and how great the label/band is too.):

shameless self promotion is the way to go in two thousand great. now if we could get bear hands on sub pop, that would be rad.
I am more excited for the 15th anniversary remastered deluxe Letters to Cleo boxset
