Editing Plan-It-X Records (section)

==History==
Founded in 1994 by Samantha Jane Dorsett and [[Chris Clavin]], Plan-It-X held a [[DIY punk ethic]]. The label sold all CDs for five dollars or less. PIX's slogan reads: "If it ain't cheap, it ain't punk". PIX attempted to demonstrate that the practices of [[major record labels]] do not need to be duplicated by independent record labels in order to be successful. They supported other small labels and encourage others to do so as well (and even go as far as to suggest starting your own label).
Clavin formerly played in the iconic folk punk band Ghost Mice and currently records albums and performs under the name Captain Chaos. Clavin was one of the founders of folk punk music and is a former band member of [[Operation: Cliff Clavin]], The Devil Is Electric, The Ted Dancin' Machine, [[Peanucle]], [[The Sissies]], [[Tooth Soup]] and [[The Jammy Dodgers]].

Beyond the release of musical albums, Plan-It-X has released a book by author [[Greg Wells]] (''Complete Control: An Anthology 1997-2005''), the [[zine]] [[My Friend Bubby]], as well as a DVD featuring live performances of bands filmed during Plan-It-X Fest 2004 (see below). A documentary was released in 2010, put together from footage shot across the week of the 2006 Plan-It-X Fest.<ref>Retrieved on 2009-06-16 http://microcosmpublishing.com/catalog/videos/2685/</ref> 

Clavin announced in 2016 that Plan-It-X would cease operations due to a variety of reasons, including the financial strain, and closed for good in 2018.<ref> {{Cite web |last=Punknews.org |date=2016-01-06 |title=Plan-It-X Records closing up shop |url=https://www.punknews.org/article/59730/plan-it-x-records-closing-up-shop |access-date=2025-03-21 |website=www.punknews.org |language=en}} </ref>
