Good bad Music for bad, bad Times.

Through a picture search website link I discovered my favorite new blog. Good bad Music. Created by a Swiss guy Oskar, it's a high-quality vinyl-rip, giant-cover-scan, very personal retrospective of Metal and Punk albums and how he remembers them from the 1980's, their place in history, technical-musical and production specifics - as well as sub-culture social meanings and implications.He posts many 7 & 12 inch singles (he has the albums too of course, but you've never seen or heard this version...). I completely connect with his experiences, his history, his knowledge and his obvious love. There are a lot of nuances and subtle references too, and excellent non-flashy writing - obviously a smart guy. I'm really enjoying his blog.

It's that link on my blog roll that doesn't have a Blogger icon.

No, it's gone now. I've linked it in the post though. I have DEFENDER too, one of the few I saved, damn it.

Thanks D. Yes, after re-reading his "about the author" section I see that I got that wrong. Funny, I remember checking the Fear of God wiki to confirm because I wasn't sure.
