Some of you may remember when the Internet Archive first allowed you to get all kinds of public domain films. Educational, instructional, crazy - They had it all.

Just stumbled across one of their newer projects: The Live Music Archive. It’s exciting because this is a chance to hear shows that were happening back when I was just a wee lad. A 1981 Minutemen show? 1984 Billy Bragg? I’m in and I’m on it.

The selection is seriously decent though heavy on bands that never acheived VH1 status due to the obvious legal issues.

Some favorite bands of mine:
Billy Bragg
The Minutemen
Mike Watt
Fugazi
The Toasters
