Anybody out there??...

Actually, I started selling it off about a year ago at record/CD sales around town and I've also dumbed loads of this trash into a couple local record stores (Euclid and Planet Score). What I have left, though (and there's still a lot, including a ton of vinyl that'll come later after I figure out how to digitize it), will be posted on my Discogs "For Sale" list...

GaragePunk.com was originally established on June 16, 2001, as the new home for my then-weekly radio program, The Wayback Machine (KDHX-FM 88.1 in St. Louis), which had previously existed online beginning on July 28, 1997. That site included a rudimentary message board that started to get more and more popular for fans of not only my radio show, but for the music played on it (garage, punk, and primitive rock'n'roll, old and new). A little over a year later (August 2002), I decided to replace that crappy old board with a fancy new phpBB message board, called the GaragePunk Forums, which didn't take long to become a very active site with more than 2,000 members. It started to get enough traffic, in fact, that I could begin selling banner ads to help pay for the rising hosting fees involved. After three years of having nothing more than a goofy pic and a "Pick Your Poison" menu on the root directory of GaragePunk.com, I realized I should do something more with the site, so I decided to turn it into an audio/review blog. Meanwhile, an old friend of mine, Bill Streeter, suggested that we start a music podcast, and feature a rotating schedule of various garage/punk/rock'n'roll programs hosted by different people, kinda like a real radio station. The motherfucker read my mind! I'd been wanting to do something like this since my college days, and now, thanks to the Internet and RSS feeds, we could do it right here online. And thus, GaragePunk.com Pirate Radio was born. This was all done with two major goals in mind: First and foremost, we wanted to try to do more to expose the music that we think is good (as well as featured on my radio show) but that most people have never heard simply because they don’t seek it out, have never been exposed to it before, or can't hear my show for one reason or another. Secondly, to encourage each and every one of you to support your local independently owned record stores, mailorder sites, and especially the indie labels that produce the vast majority of music featured here.
The original GaragePunk Forums message board started to fizzle and lose traffic in 2006 (due primarily to the sudden popularity of MySpace), so in the summer of 2007 I launched the GaragePunk Hideout, first on Ning, and then later (August 2013) back to our own domain using the SocialEngine platform. And that's where we are today. The site is now 13 years old (older than Faceboo
