100 Not Out

So I’ve made it to my century post. Hurrah! Thanks for hanging around, and I hope you’ve not been too disappointed. I’ve actually quite enjoyed myself, despite periodically not actually doing anything very much at all here.

Anyway, it’s got me thinking afresh about this here blogging lark, and my occasional inabilty (hah!) to get my lazy arse into gear to actually, you know, write something.

2008 saw some great records arrive at Chez Old Punk. In fact, there wasn’t a bad one among ’em. Label and distro people, you deserve maximum respect for keeping the faith. Band people, the punk flame remains in very safe hands. Onwards, upwards, forwards!

Some very lovely punks ripped and shared some stunning noise from days of yore. You’ve made a grown punk cry (in a good manly way) on more than one occasion. I’ve tried to remember to say thanks whenever I’ve grabbed one of the jewels on offer, […]
