Welcome!

One of my favorite ways to find new music is to monitor blogs using Google Reader. I have found excellent stuff at Black Acetate, Jangle Pop Boutique, Madchester Rave On, Nyāko's Treasures, Power Pop Criminals, Take the Pills!, and PVAc to 44.1 kHz. These blogs have provided me with a rich cache of obscure and out-of-print gems that I would have otherwise overlooked.

In an ideal marketplace the best product would always sell the most units but 18 years of paying attention to music (counting from my freshman year of high school) has taught me that there are ignored tracks from many years ago, like Fingerprintz's Houdini Love, that should be renowned alongside Another Girl, Another Planet. And there is relatively new music like Jack Lee's Middle of the Night, The Affair's Honey, and anything by Smoking Popes that should be top downloads on iTunes.

I want to share with you the songs that jump out at me - that make me wonder how they continue to be so unknown. I'll also post some rare tracks that, while not ignored classics, are good and interesting - like The Lumieres's Cinder Hearts. Most of the music I post will be out of print or available for free already. And all the posts are intended to introduce you to new bands and prompt you to buy their product.

Thank you for visiting the blog. I hope you find a few new favorite songs here.
