Better cherish your Coup live experience, party people, 'cos Boots & Pam's latest opus, Pick a Bigger Weapon won't drop until February 2006. It will be the duo's debut album for Epitaph records, which has somehow become a hip hop powerhouse while we weren't paying attention. Lifesavas also purportedly have a new record in the works. We'll supply the full skinny in due time. For now, you're encouraged to keep fighting the power.
