Off to Bristol

 

This early morning I am moving to #BlogCon25 a gathering of bloggers you might know well. For me it is another blind date of meeting mates I know from the blogosphere during the last years. I am sure we will have a great time in Bristol and for me it would be a highlight of the year. There will be no more posts until next weekend and here are some videos of artists from this place. Enjoy and have also a great time until next week.

The Year Punk Broke

A few weeks ago Cherry Red released a three CD-Compilation of music that made punk-rock as we knew about it. The first punk singles were released in 1976 but the first album came to our ears one or two years later when the bands were able to play more than three songs in a row. This compilation is a retrospective to the very early sound of this movement. Most of the songs were under two minutes and showed us the possibilities of what could happen. Mostly raw and full of enthusiasm for a new kind of music that made me change my fondness to a new kind of music. Fast, different and loud - what made me stamped until now.
