Noticed Simon has put out feelers for some rare stuff by namely Donald Knaack and Kenneth Gaburo. Not even a faintest CLUE who these people are. However someone OUT THERE will know all about them. Amazing isn't it. The same thing blew me away when I came out with that list of uber-obscurities I was after the other day, when people who read this blog managed to hook me up with all of them. People still reading this guff, you're nuts.....
It occurred to me just then as I was awaiting the umpteenth Elton John render to congeal that in some way something like blissblog or k-punk (increasingly so) perform excellently as 'hubs.' Then, because I seem to write/think about little else at the moment, it dawned on me too that a magazine like The Wire must have at it's disposal the most awesome resources of knowledge. Resources largely untapped as a result of their narrow remit. In fact I can think of at least three excellent primers they have in the wings/missed out on by "colleagues".
I suppose it's a function of the flexible form of the blogs, with the writer's ability to publish at will (matched by the reader's ability to ignore at will), and the whole healthy bleed between professional writers and punters (like myself) triumphing over the mag format. Plenty of people have gems to offer up to the treasure chest of knowledge.
