anyway, some links to hold you over. I’ll be posting a lil bit but not a ton.. keep checking back..

So after the post from yesterday I had four people offer me IPODS for loan. One of them I have never met before.
I met him in Union Square, he let me borrow a 50gb old schooler.

Thank you.

e. GT has, count ‘em, 51 free songs for you to download right NOW.

so the worst of worst just happened, my 80gb IPOD died on me, sort of. And I am about to go away on two trips.

Does anyone have an old IPOD lying around or one they don’t use anymore? I can’t even imagine what it would be like for me to travel without one..

I’ll buy it from you or trade something for it,…

Please someone help me out…

Like I said, the best way to get your music definitely reviewed by thepunkguy is send vinyl. Ha. I got a nice 7 inch from Viper Bite Records from the band Auld Lang Syne. (myspace HERE.)

Sort of a mix of Americana, rock and a tiny bit of country, Auld Lang Syne’s 7 inch release is a pretty solid release. I definitely like the A side title track a lil better, coming off like Chris Cornell meets Mark Lanegan fronting the Cardinals. Ha. A really good song. I could totally see it making into heavy rotation. Check it out below.
