Something I Learned Today

Punk Rock and Other Assorted Bullshit

RIP, Agony Shorthand

So I get back from Denver only to discover that one of my fave music sites Agony Shorthand is closing up shop. I discovered Agony Shorthand about 2 and half years ago, just as I was starting this blog. From the first read I knew that Jay Hinman was on the same wavelength as me, writing about so many of the records and bands that I love in addition to turning me on to new stuff I wouldn’t have found otherwise. The excellent writing style and wit will be missed, along with the spirited debate in the comments. On the off chance that Mr. Hinman is reading this, I just want to say that the doors of SILT are always open if you’re ever inclined to drop some music and knowledge. Thanks

    Scott at Strange Reaction just announced that he is quitting, too. Don’t get any ideas, Eric!

    By the way, thanks for adding a link to my blog (Underneathica).
