Gone fishing...and maybe sinking to the bottom of the lake.


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.

- Gray

Well, thnaks for all the great music posted over the years.
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

Thanks for all the uploads and re-uploads and re-re-uploads and loads of really important info and some really great writing. "Shout at the devil, and then continue shouting at everything and everyone else ever. Forever."

Going to be tough with no best of 2023 this year.

Maybe a best of 2023? Last year’s was so good!

Nezināms said...

The last time - best of 2023! Please!

panzan said...

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.

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.

Still missing SGM, bigly. Others have said it better in these comments, but boy have y'all left a big hole, yet to be filled.
