For the foreseeable future, and likely beyond, let's assume that this blog space shall be dormant with no new posts forthcoming. Links will be active until the server they are on determines that they aren't. So, things that are gone, are gone, but the blog itself will stay here where we are leaving it. Until somebody decides they don't want to pay to host it. Which could be whenever.
Thanks to all who contributed.
Cheers to the founder Jeremy, aka Ipecac. I kept it going in his memory as long as I could, but ultimately...well...you know.
Thanks to all who who took the time to read what was posted.

This blog turned me on such great bands when finding noise rock albums on the net was not so easy : Crust, Cherubs, Pains teens ...
Wish you the best

This blog introduced me to so many great band that pulled me through some pretty dark times. Thanks for the efforts you put it in for all of these years.
Love's labours lost. To Ipecac and you, thanks for all the wonderful music and interesting insights. The world will be a dimmer place without you. As another commenter said, "The end of an era." and indeed it is.
Happy Trails
Well, shit on a dick. SGM has been a daily visit any time I've had 10 minutes to open my computer. Y'all were one of the real ones. Salut!

THANKS! THE ONLY BLOG THAT PUBLISHED MY BAND. I WILL KEEP YOUR REVIEWS LIKE GOLD, THANKS A LOT!
There will be a big hole in this space……followed the ‘tone since I was active on my own blog…..you will be missed
Thanks for the detailed and thoughtful posts
Damn... RIP SGM, you will be missed.
Going to be tough with no best of 2023 this year.
Maybe a best of 2023? Last year’s was so good!
The last time - best of 2023! Please!
Damn shame. I guess it's too much to ask for one more year-end list?
You guys were/are unsung heroes. As someone else said, I can't emphasize enough how good, insightful, and earnest really, the writing style was, and it is something I'll miss as much as the music. Thanks for being such an inspiration, and all the best, Gray! RIP Ipecac.
Thank you for all the work you put into this, Gray! I hope the future goes well for you.
SGM one of the best blogspot sites for underground music, ever! An incredible collection of hard to find/ rare / out of print vinyl , demo tapes etc.
