First Annual Report

Started this blog a year ago. The most popular topic (in terms of page views) is America's sweetheart, Pearl Harbour

The blog has also featured the songs we learned from the impeccable Tav Falco;

The homemade records of Stinky Le Pew (America's other sweetheart);

The singles released by Subterranean Records (and other San Francisco treats);

Guest appearances by Hollie Cook and Iggy Pop on other artists' records;

The guitarists Gareth Sager and Gareth Liddiard (whose band Tropical Fuck Storm has released a new single);

The late and lamented composer Hardy Fox

plus and also Hypnolovewheel, The C*nts, and a whole lot of white crap about The Fall (whose fearsome leader would have turned 62 yesterday).  

My sincere thanks to everyone who has visited, commented, and added a link from your blog to mine. Special shout out to my three followers, who have bravely chosen to ignore the words of Pearl Harbour: Don't follow me, I'm lost too.

    1. I didn't include an index to old posts in the blog layout, and I recently began to suspect that stuff like "Songs The Panther Burns Taught Us" might go overlooked. Thanks for the flattering comparison to RE/Search, and for your support via the awesome Down Underground blog. I don't know how you have kept up the pace all these years: I average only three posts per month!

  4. Thanks for the offer jonder, sounds good to me. I was thinking of updating some
    of the artwork eventually, I am only a few months into using windows paint so
    a few upgrades could be done on some of the comps. Maybe we could do some of
    the re-ups over here when the time comes. I also have some of my own music
    I may eventually release, maybe a trial run of demo's over here? Anyways,
    just some ideas for now, we'll be in touch.

    1. You are an inspiration and a generous friend. Your in-depth knowledge of musick certainly eclipses mine.

      The way you research and write your posts at nathannothinsez.blogspot.com is the model for what I try to do here.

  8. Hi jonder Thanks for the Iggy compilations. Great work. Love Iggy and met him at the Royal Albert Hall when he did Post Pop Depression Tour. Wonderful man

    1. Hey, Jim! Very cool that you got to see Iggy play the Royal Albert Hall, and to meet the man himself. If I ever met Iggy, I would try to convince him to do a version of the Robyn Hitchcock song "America". I can hear it in Iggy's voice (in my head), and I think it would be his biggest hit since "Candy". Enjoy the comps!
