I've been mulling over this for a while now, but I've decided to take the plunge and start encoding my rips as FLACs rather than MP3s. It's the best way of ensuring as flawless a copy as possible of the original vinyl (within the restrictions of the kit I use). With a FLAC file you're [...] It's been a busy weekend. Friday and Saturday saw me catching up with mates from near and far, nothing too hectic but still requiring me to be a bit of a social butterfly. Then came Sunday night, spent in the company of Geoffrey Oi!Cott, Valdez, Spiteful Way (their last ever gig, boo!) and some other scallywags [...] 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 [...] Profane Existence are drastically scaling back operations, and are having a major distro blow-out to clear the space Dan needs for his family. Not everything's been discounted (yet), but the price reductions so far have been huge – up to 90% in some cases and at least 50% for most of the others. Dan's refocusing [...] 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 [...] In a display of mutual solidarity with my friends in Bristol Antifa, I've set up a small (but perfectly formed) distro – Ye Olde Punke Shoppe. I hope to raise a few quid for them while spreading that groovy anti-fascist musical vibe – 100% of all money made from this little venture (after costs) is [...] Sometime in the new year, The Amebix will be playing in my living room. Not the real live people that make up the band, obviously, but the DVD that the band are releasing in collaboration with Belfast Records. There's still just about enough time left to pre-order one. This has the potential to be one [...] If anyone's interested, Punk Torrents is currently open for registration (although probably not for long). So hurry up and sign up if you want the chance to grab and share some fine rare punk and punk-related audio, video and literature. There's also general info, discussions, intelligent debate and occasional stupidity to entertain you while you're [...] I've got the chance to ask some questions of the original drummer of Anarcrust. I'm more than happy to ask stuff on your behalf, so if there's anything in particular that you want to know then let me know. I've just added a new link in the sidebar, but I reckon the site's worthy of a plug to get your attention. So, for those who haven't yet stumbled upon this treasure trove of punk delight, head on over to Kill From The Heart and immerse yourself in probably the most comprehensive repository of global 80's [...] |
