#0: introduction...
Post number zero? Well, I figured I would take a short moment before I started making actual posts to quickly introduce myself and the purpose of this blog.
...
I really hate introductions. Where to start... Like most I initially got into hardcore. The classics y'know, Minor Threat, Black Flag, Dead Kennedy's. Some would say I'm still into hardcore... Probably the first release that I can say turned me on to "emo" was Heroin's 1993 self titled. That Heroin record is so insanely powerful and has not aged at all for me. Not long after I discovered that album I decided to start "collecting". I have never viewed purchasing records as a collecting thing for me. Rather I view it as a facilitating new music type thing. Being a product of the online era a lot of the music I discovered in my formative years (and still discover to this day) is in an online setting. Usually online via the work of many others spreading it about.
...
That brings me to the purpose of the blog (and overarching project). As I continue to build up my collection I'll share some stuff on here with pictures/files. The goal is to do my part in preserving this music. A sort of homage to other's past work. I am constantly listening to new bands myself. I would be lying to call myself some type of historian or something (yet...?). Hopefully you find something you'll enjoy on here. Sorry for screaming into the void, this'll be kept to a minimum in the future.
