One of the pioneers of punk, Ron Asheton was found dead in his apartment yesterday. Asheton, 60, was a founding member of the Stooges and played on the influencial Raw Power and Fun House records. http://www.mlive.com/news/ann-arbor/index.ssf/2009/01/stooges_guitarist_... |

Sean's obviously been hit by the January motivation bug that we're all feeling at the moment. Fully Backed is looking for people to contribute to this great South Wales hardcore blog. Plenty of interviews and info about goings on down Cardiff way. We've added Fully Backed to the Blog Feed so you can keep up to date with their posts. |

Following on from the story that vinyl is still going strong, the BBC have today published an article about the 60th birthday of the 7 inch. |

Good news for the start of 2009. Vinyl doesn't seem to be going anywhere soon. Despite a fair number of pressing plants going under and the price of pressing vinyl going up, it seems that people are buying more records then ever. http://www.computerworld.com/action/article.do?command=viewArticleBasic&... |

MUS26 ULTIMO RESORTE - La Larga Sombra Del Punk LP ULTIMO RESORTE were the bridge between the very first Spanish Punk Generation and the first Spanish Hardcore Wave. During their 5 years of existence (1979-1984) they only managed to record a demo and two impossible to find records. A self-titled 7 track 7" EP and "Una Causa Sin Fondo" a 5 track 12". "La Larga Sombra Del Punk" compiles both those records plus a 16 pages 11"x11" booklet with a long interview with the band and tons of pictures and fanzine clippings. |

2009 means a new start and a new way of running the site. Vinyl Generation has been sitting in limbo for ages and I decided to move towards a community approach. Once you have signed up for an account you can submit articles, stories, reviews, new releases, distro lists and whatever the hell else you want (as long as it's vaguely connected to punk rock record collecting!). The old database is still being hosted here so no record information has been lost. If you have any questions, just post on one of the forums. Enjoy. |
