Please Wait 60 Seconds. 59, 58, 57...

Sorry for the lack of posts lately. Just waiting on some cleaning supplies to come in, revising my process a bit to get improved results (less ticks/pops and less surface noise).

My cleaning regimen will go from a two-step process to a four-, possibly five-, step process. Details will be noted on the Ripping Process page once everything arrives and has been put to use.

When I return you can expect some uploads from BASTARD NOISE, BORN AGAINST, [E?], MAN IS THE BASTARD, TIM RAY, RUNNING FOR COVER, SCALP-LOCK, SHANK, UJ3RK5, and I might even post some major(ish) label stuff that I normally haven't taken a stab at for this blog yet in the likes of BILL PLUMMER AND THE COSMIC BROTHERHOOD (eastern-space-jazz-fusion).

While we wait, here's a couple related links:

Out of the Igloo - great blog chock-full of 80s Canadian punk/new wave

Guilty until proven innocent? - The man behind the Bogeda Pop world music blog shares his thoughts on the recent FBI crackdown on Megaupload and the likes. Interesting and enjoyable read.

And NEIL YOUNG chimes in on all this here.

“Piracy is the new radio,” he said. “That’s how music gets around. That’s the real world for kids.”
