Typical Girls: Women in Punk/Post-Punk/Underground Music (Circa 1975-1980s)

Sorry about the spam, but this was a long time
coming...

Hey-

For about 6 years the Acute Records website was just a
single white page with a bit of text and the phrase
"new site soon" up top. Finally, about a year ago, it
had a "design", some sort of Acute house style, but
was still just a tease. Then, after much work and with
a great deal of help from Rob from Catsup Plate, we
got a real website up there. But I didn't officially
"announce" it because I was waiting to start the Acute
blog. So after a few more months, and with a great
deal of help from Max of artificeeternity.com, we
finally set up the blog. And I still didn't say
anything. I had posted an initial intro post, but
wanted to wait until there was a more substantial
post. Well now there is, so I'm here to tell you about
it.

Consider the Acute Records website officially
"launched"! You can see it here:
http://acuterecords.com

And feel free to check out the Acute Records Blog
here:
http://acuterecords.com/blog/

Why a blog? Why not. You can read all about it in the
first post, but basically the blog will be an outlet
for the discussion of music, the stuff we're
releasing, the stuff we want to release, the stuff we
wished we released. Old music, new music, tours,
radio, interviews etc. Like the original Acute
geocities website, it'll mostly just be the rants of a
fan, nothing too authoritative or academic. Hopefully
it will be fun, maybe a bit informative and maybe a
bit funny at times. 

My goal is to have at least one post a week because I
want to make sure you come back and keep checking
it...I want to be in your RSS reader, I want to be in
your blogroll. Most importantly, I want you to comment
and take part. The first real post is up, an extensive
and excessive summation of my appearance on the Beats
in Space radio show. Don't worry, I'll probably never
post anything that long again. 

So please come check it out and let me know what you
think. We're still working the kinks out but I'm
pretty psyched about it. And look for the Fire Engines
CD Hungry Beat on October 2nd and for news beyond
that...well you'll have to join the mailing list and
keep checking the blog!

Thanks,

Dan
