Наивность ученого простеца - это доведенная до совершенства способность учиться. Ученый глупец (или
простец) - это еще и идеальный учитель, который не столько сообщает ученикам информацию, сколько
заставляет их быть людьми

Обучение у такого наставника - не линейное усвоение знаний, а
что-то вроде движения по кругу,
бесконечное повторение пройденного,
когда на каждом новом уровне уже изученные вещи предстают в новом свете.

Evert has compiled an unbelievably detailed (and cross-referenced) list of bands, labels, and people. So if you're looking for discographies, track listings, contact info, or anything in between, Grunnen Rocks is the place. The closest thing to the Bible on the internet.
Mark Murmann's site that contains both CompHELLation, an in-depth guide to KBD, Bloodstains, Back to Front, and all other '78-'83 punk compilations, plus his ACTION! photozine.
An amazing site run by collector and nice guy Paul Routenberg, specializing in KBD-era punk. Detailed lists and reviews of compilations, plus country-by-country discographies. Opinionated and generally dead-on.
A page that houses Henry Weld's Music Pages (extensive Australian punk/Radio Birdman discographies) and Volume 3 of the Discography of American Punk, which is a fanatical list of pretty much any early American punk record you can think of, divided by region/state, and with cover scans/pressing info for most of them. Plus, the Discography of Punk 8-Tracks among other things. An incredible resource.
The world's hottest bulletin board, plus mailorder/news/pics/Memphis courtesy of Eric Oblivian.
A comprehensive discography of the Australian post-punk scene, with a lot of sleeve scans. Linked to the No Night Sweats site, which has some interesting MP3's as well.
Chuck Warner's site for his incredible reissue/compliation CDs, plus shitloads of links to most of the bands that appear on them.
Very nice informational site, with discographies, sleeves scans, and MP3's from 1976-1985 power-pop/mod bands.
They pretty much stopped paying attention starting in 1996 or so, but for anything before then it's still an invaluable resource for discographies and well-written reviews for all that is/was "New Wave" or "Underground" at the time. E-mail your questions to Ira Robbins himself, he actually answers them.
AMG pretty much picked up where Trouser Press left off. Much less reliable, but surprisingly informative on occassion.
Dale Merrill's site for great interviews, record reviews, Bancroft Records and more.
Where it all started. Joe has been nice to archive the stuff at the On/On Switch site. He's a good guy.
Sex, drugs and rock'n'roll from the greatest print mag in existence.
Great site for video of live shows at a cheap price. Lots of good stuff.
Does this really need explaining?..
Check out Kopper's message board to stay up to date on the day-to-day ramblings/news here. Also, check out his Wayback Machine radio show.
From the brains behind the sadly deceased Cimarron Weekend.
Okay, maybe Roctober is the greatest print mag in existence. They both hail from Chicago. Check out record reviews by the mighty Flamin' Waymon Timbsdale.
Uber-collector Ryan Richardson's KBD band history site. Go here for the story behind Tapeworm and others.
Long running Swedish garage-rock mag from the Savage Brothers.
For the classic garage fan hidden inside us all.
Crazy label issuing world-wide punk. Site is home to an insane Asian Punk discography, covering thousands of bands/releases from China to Turkey. Also the source of the Eastern European Punk Discography. Amazing.
Essays on the art of getting hammered. For serious souses only.
Cool on-line mag, with pdf versions of their issues. Hey, that's a pretty good idea...
If you just can't get enough Nanne Tepper, go here for more reviews, rants, and handy European tour schedule for all of you on the continent.
Amazing index containing discographies/catalogs for over 2,000 indie/punk labels from the Seventies to the present. Print version. Massive.
UK based web-zine with a mindset similar to ours. Great interviews, features, and the like. Recommended.
Great e-mag focusing on some more 'out there' sounds, as well as good old punk on occassion as well. Tony Rettman's stuff is particularly good.
All things Dave Hyde. Soon to be finished compendium of writing and photos ans other stuff, plus the home of The Nubees cover project.
Archive of recent record auctions (from eBay and other sites) so you can check out how much that Avengers single you've been thinking of selling has been going for.
Not just the home of Break My Face, but Strange Sisters (lesbian pulp), Gay on the Range (gay pulp covers), and Negative Feedback (eBay revenge stories). Great reading/looking for a rainy day.
On-line mag that's been around for quite awhile. Tons of great old articles archived here, plus some new stuff occassionally.
Home to The Monger, KBD collector extraordinaire and moog/porn aficionado.
Great photo site.
Pretty self-explanatory. Tons of shit, handily divided by country.
Detailed and vast site devoted mainly to Eighties punk/hardcore heavyweights. This guy also has an awesome site devoted to Big Black site linked from this.
Quality exploitation film review site that also dips into the zine, music, book, and porn fields.
Home of the Virtual Bootleg and the equally ridiculous, but far more expensive lathe-cut single series. For KBD losers only.
Jam packed site of nothing but Seventies/Eighties punk rock/new wave records scans. Wow.

The absolute best mailorder/distro out there. Also the home of Rapid Pulse Records.
Another great one, they accept Paypal, and stock a lot of stuff Disgruntled doesn't have.
On-line shopping cart and lots of good stuff with pics/tracklistings. They have a 3 7"es for $10 deal too.
Home to Revolver Disrtribution as well, they stock a ton of shit, both inside and out of the garage/punk realm.
Label/mailorder run by Alicja Trout that features a lot of obscure Memphis and non-Memphis stuff you won't find elsewhere. Very frequent updates.
Home to Bomp Mailorder and all of their affiliated labels, serving up the finest in garage and punk as long as I've been alive. Now accepting PayPal as well.
Canadian distro, small but well stocked in the rarer punk and hardcore spectrums.
The ultimate in Japanese mailorder. Yeah, yeah, I know, the site is Japanese. Doesn't matter, the titles are in English, and you can e-mail them lists of what you want. They gladly accept American record geek money.
A record label and distro out of Minneapolis run by Hideo from Sweet JAP that has lots of Japanese releases unavailable elsewhere in the States, plus a bunch of other great stuff.
German mailorder with the finest in European swag. Once again, the titles are in English, e-mail them with what you want, and they will help you out.
The best in Canadion mailorder/distro, and home to ZVA Records as well. Lotsa good imports.
Used record sale site. Better deals than you think, and tons of sellers/stock.
Great mail-order for "unofficial" copies of unreleased, lost, and extremely obscure films. Very reliable.
