M.Ace, who runs one of my very favorite weblogs, Irregular Orbit, has posted a wonderful history of the punk band he was in over 20 years ago. I really like the songs, which you can download one at a time, or in a 50 MB chunk.
Once upon a time, back in the old punk era, I was in a band you never heard of called Narthex. We played shows in Philadelphia and vicinity from 1980 to 1983. We've put together a web page recounting our ridiculously obscure story, because we think all of the little stories of all of the little bands are what added up to make a remarkable era. Everyone who participated should be telling their own first-hand stories. So here is ours. Along with visual artifacts, there's also a free web-album of audio, released with a Creative Commons license.
