I love your blog. I grew up on punk rock but get very impatient with punk blogs. I only can stand one toe in the pool when it comes to the indie blogs. You strike a nice balance here and seem to be a true fan of music and not just some silly scene. Plus I can tell that you came of age, as I did, in the 90s before these stupid kids grew up and ruined music with their girl jeans. So, thanks for being cool.

That sucks man. But y’know what, this site is the only blog that really caters to the indie kids that have their roots in punk rock. Those other sites are catered to kids that learn about music from Urban Outfitters and American Apparel.

That being said, this is the only music blog I actually read.

Andddd, if interested, here are some more gift ideas for jaded indie rockers: http://www.nerve.com/CS/blogs/modernmaterialist/archive/2008/12/09/Gifts-for-the-Jaded-Indie-Rock-Aficianado.aspx

Meh…I’ve only heard of one of those. This is still my music blog of choice, especially for pop-punk

Here’s an amazing album that didn’t make it on the Gummy list, and seems to have flown below the radar:

Johnny Flynn, “A Larum.”

Amazing folksy stuff, weird lyrics, great vocals.
