Intro thread!

The Clangor of Dale

Heya. I'm Dale. I did Smashin' Transistors for years. Bancroft Records was/is my label. Moved outta Michigan March of 2020. Landed in Durham, NC. I do the sporadically updated Clanoring thing at Substack, still dabbling in show booking/promo here and there, restore/refurb old film camera and reinvented my career from a regional tourism public relations and graphic content creator person to a vacuum cleaner repairman and general gadfly.

Luc At Tomorrow

Hey! I'm Luc from France. Older than most of you. I play drums in a couple of bands and still make mixtapes on cassettes. Hardcore punk nerd, closet metalhead, record enthusiast/afficionado (I hate the word "collector".)

toddS

I'm Todd. I'm from Utah. I manage the graphics department and oversee color on press at a box manufacturer by day and run a blog and online radio station by night (and day). Been a poser since 1974.

Rapid Adapter

Yo, Clint from Memphis, formerly Milwaukee. I was in a couple bands, wrote for some zines, both cyber and physical. Am old now, 45, and I post way too many links to stuff.

Speaking of which, I just fired up a Blue Sky account last night. Add me on there, I need some frands.

Rapid Adapter Hey man thanks for keeping that Garagey Punk sub-reddit alive. I tried commenting about stuff at first but no one gave a shit or got offended. Thems reddit, I guess...

Red Menace

Hi, Aleks from Columbus, Ohio here. I was in some bands and just joined a friend's band after a 5 year hiatus. I miss message boards. I 'm pretty sure this is just one of the reasons I'm here(?). Let me know if JG shows up, lol... CHEERS!

Allan

Hiya, I'm Allan from Glasgow, Scotland but will have lived in the Bay Area for 30 years this year.
I am in a band called Neutrals. I used to write/review for MRR for many years until I had to cut some activities out of my life for my own sanity.
Thanks for starting this board, excited to see where it goes. Looking forward to spending less time on social media.

Rapid Adapter

Sukebe_GG LOL, someone on reddit got offended when I posted The Ooga Boogas once. Buuuuuut, thinking about the movie of that title, I guess I saw their point.

Alien Point Of View

Hey-o! Name’s Brian, from Kalamazoo, MI. Used to be in Silicon Heartbeat, now I’m in Spatter Pattern. Love music of all kinds, horror flicks & cheap malt liquor. Looking forward to wasting time on something that isn’t gloom and doom constantly.

Thank you so much for your kind words, guys—I really appreciate it. That’s exactly why I started my YouTube channel: to share and spread the best of the underground. It’s something I’ve always loved doing, even before the internet—first with mixtapes, then with CDs, putting together compilations for friends. Knowing that the channel has helped you discover new music means the world to me!

Clif

paperhose The new Mordecai album is amazing. glad you guys are aboard.
