SYSTEMATIC DEATH
WELCOME BACK LOST IN TYME
One of the best blogs to find out about (not steal) obscure Kraut, Psych, Prog, Funk and Punk is back up after being pulled down because an idiot named Mr. Shawn Gordon complained to the DMCA that we should not be allowed to discover music that in the main is either not available to buy anymore or is incredibly hard to find. He feels that the musicians and bands whos music is available on blogs such as Lost In Tyme should not have their music made available for free as it devalues the actual music, and also means the musicans are not earning the money they deserve. Fair enough, but Mr. Shawn Gordan and the bands he's worried about should be grateful to Lost In Tyme for making people like me aware of their existance to begin with, also Lost In Tyme always provides links to where the music can be bought where possible. Maybe if the lazy record labels actually bothered to make all this great music available to begin with we probably wouldn't have this problem.
Here's a link to Ariel Pink's album, Thrash n' Burn which is no longer available to buy.

THE DECLINE OF WESTERN CIVILIZATION PT.1
The Decline of Western Civilization Pt.1 is a documentary following the L.A. punk scene from 1979 to 1980. For some reason, the L.A. punk scene never really gets the credit it deserves compared to London and New York, I guess those 2 where first but with bands such as The Germs, X, Fear, Black Flag (pre Henry Rollins) and The Circle Jerks who are all in this brilliant documentary you cant really ignore it can you. It also follows the beginning of Slash Records who started out as a fanzine but went on to release records for X, The Misfits, Violent Femmes, Gun Club and The Knitters to name but a few. This documentary is worth watching just for the footage of Darby Crash.
