Why Be Something That That You're Not

Photobucket
Now I know you are all well aware of Tony Rettman's "Why Be Something That You're Not" book on the Detroit Hardcore scene of 1979-1985, but are you also aware of the blog he's got going? In the case that you missed it, do yourself a favor and get over there now. Tony's been featuring a ton of great tidbits that did not make the book and loads of heavy hitting mid west hardcore content in general. As a matter of fact, he just dropped a killer entry today on the short lived BURP! Fanzine that was done by Negative Approach frontman John Brannon and Necros drummer Todd Swalla between 1981 and 1982. So like I said, check it out and don't forget to pick up the a copy of "Why Be Something That You're Not", due out July 6th, 2010 from Revelation. Do it. -Tim DCXX
