I have been having to play catch up a little bit learning about the Punk, Go-Go and Jazz scenes here in DC, being a bit of and alt-country/retro-vintage girl myself. When you start catching onto the history, it blows your mind. No that I am doing this blog thing online, I am incorrigible about looking up information. The Punk scene has been remarkably well documented. Just type Fugazi in a search engine and you will eventually hit a music site (I am thinking of the ALL MUSIC GUIDE the IMDB of music, that I can't seem to link to right now) it completely deconstructs Discord records and the DC scene leading up to and continuing after Fugazi. Now the same is SOOOOOOOO not true with Jazz and Go-Go and even the Country scene. There are sites beginning to form, trying to do this for Go-Go FunkMasterJ's or MikeMcNasty and there are others, but there is still a lot of construction and gathering of information going on. Jeez, and while most of the contemporary DC roots rock bands have their own web sites, as far as I know there is no place that links into the Country/Bluegrass Music history that is so big around here. I havn't had time to look up Jazz web links yet. These are gargantuan areas and props to anyone wo attempts to do the interdisciplanary explaining and recording.
