The Ledge #71: Blog Finds

I have to admit that I'm addicted to music blogs. No, I'm not talking about sites like mine, where blabbermouths go on and on about shit nobody cares about. What I'm referring to are blogs that provide a valuable service to insane music collectors such as myself - the types of sites that find, rip, and upload rare, primarily out of print records that quite often fetch big bucks on Ebay.

I have over a dozen of these types of blogs that I visit almost every day, and quite a few others that I end up on when there's something specific I "need". This week's show is a sampler of recent finds. Some of the tracks played on this show are rare versions of familiar songs. Others are 7" single releases by bands who didn't survive to see their second single. The last half hour of the show are 60's garage rock treats inspired by articles I've read in Ugly Things.

To hear the show, the drill is the same as always. Download The Ledge iPhone/Android app, or directly download it here.
